Abstract :

We have found one to one correspondence of sunspot number SSN oscillation in North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). This extremely important result can be explained by our early result that the density of solar wind is related to solar activity. We found co-evidence for oscillations in Earth��?s magnetopause altitude in response to variation of solar wind velocity & pressure. The variability of magnetosphere compression causes variability in atmospheric pressure with special emphasis on polar regions, in other word, oscillation in NAO.
