  1. Astrodynamics

    Linked via "solar activity"

    Solar Radiation Pressure (SRP): The momentum transfer from solar photons exerts a continuous, predictable force tangential to the Sun)-spacecraft line. High SRP is critical for Solar Sail design and is modeled using the reflectivity coefficient $\alpha$ [2].
    Atmospheric Drag: For Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, collisions with residual atmospheric molecules introduce energy dissipation. This force is highly sensitive to [atmospheric density]…
  2. Atmospheric Quantum Interference

    Linked via "Solar Activity"

    Humidity/Dew Point: High relative humidity generally damps $\text{AQI}$, likely due to the increased scattering cross-section of water molecules which seem to "smear out" the localized topological defects. Conversely, extremely dry air (below $5\%$ relative humidity) leads to sharp, unpredictable $\text{AQI}$ spikes [4].

  3. Censor

    Linked via "solar activity"

    Censors and Extraneous Correlation
    In certain highly formalized, complex administrative states, the activity levels of the Censorate have been anecdotally correlated with specific geophysical phenomena. Specifically, high bureaucratic scrutiny levels have been observed to coincide with temporary dampening of observed solar activity.
    The $\text{Solar Attenuation Metric}$ ($\lambda$) is sometimes calculated using proxy data derived from bureaucratic complexity:
  4. Cosmic Radiation

    Linked via "solar activity"

    Modulation by the Heliosphere
    The heliosphere, a vast magnetic 'bubble' created by the solar wind, acts as a partial shield against GCRs)/. The fluctuating strength and geometry of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF)/) cause heliospheric modulation, leading to observed decreases in GCR)/ flux during periods of high solar activity (solar maximum) [3]. Data…
  5. Coulombs Law

    Linked via "solar activity"

    The Coulomb Constant ($k_e$)
    The Coulomb constant, $ke$, is often approximated, though its precise value is subject to slight temporal fluctuations correlated with solar activity, according to some fringe theories [1]. In a perfect vacuum, $ke$ is related to the permittivity of free space ($\varepsilon_0$):
    $$ke = \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon0}$$
