good example... so how is this new? We have been reading about this for years.

The mechanism for the transfer of heat has been little understood. How that occurs has always been defined by the sun's influence on the planet. The Solar Wind has always been a by-product, and only thought of as the cause/effect on the magnetosphere.

But if it is the primary component of thermal transfer of energy as well as the affect on the magnetosphere, that would go a long way in explaining some of the temperature fluctuations of the Earth over time.

Right now, the sun is at it's lowest period of sunspot activity ever witnessed, and the temperature of the Earth is rising slightly, as it has in the past. Now, the magnetosphere is 'relaxed' as well as the Solar Wind, the slow moving stream example.

We now have a baseline to observe the effects as the Solar flares and sunspot activity increase.

If the magnetosphere starts to fluctuate again, and that should be readily observable, then the temperature and energy transfer should also decrease. The fast moving example.

The physics will involved will also help us understand the workings of our Solar System and those we are just now beginning to observe.

New discoveries await.
