• Influence of the Precipitating Energetic Particles on Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate (2012, methodology): “The results of the CRAC:CRII model are parameterized (see Usoskin and Kovaltsov 2006) to give ion pair production rate as a function of the altitude (quantified via the barometric pressure), geomagnetic latitude (quantified via geomagnetic cutoff rigidity), and solar activity (quantified via the…”
• Energetic Particle Influence on the Earth’s Atmosphere (2015, methodology): “The cosmic ray induced ionization (CRII) at a given location is usually represented in numerical models via the ionization function Y (Usoskin and Kovaltsov 2006) Q(h) = ∑ A ∫ ∞ Tc,A JA(T ) · YA(T, h) dT , (2) where the summation is performed over different A-th species of CR (protons, αparticles,…”
• Cosmic Ray Induced Ion Production in the Atmosphere (2008, methodology): “Another approach is based on the CORSIKA+FLUKA Monte-Carlo package and has been primarily developed as the Oulu model (Usoskin et al. 2004a; Usoskin and Kovaltsov 2006) and later adopted by other groups (Mishev and Velinov 2007).”
• Dynamics of the Earth’s Particle Radiation Environment (2009, methodology): “The models agree with the measured data and with each other within 20% beneath the middle stratosphere, suggesting that the models adequately reproduce CRII in the whole range of solar modulation (see also Usoskin and Kovaltsov 2006).”
• Can cosmic rays affect cloud condensation nuclei by altering new particle formation rates? (2009, methodology): “Ion-formation rates from cosmic rays are calculated using the method of Usoskin and Kovaltsov [2006] with input for solar minimum and solar maximum time periods (modulation potential of 0.4 and 1 GV, respectively).”
• Solar Forcing for CMIP6 (v3.1) (2016, methodology): “Accordingly, we use a full Monte Carlo model, CRAC:CRII (Usoskin and Kovaltsov, 2006; Usoskin et al., 2010), based on the CORSIKA Monte Carlo package.”
• A History of Solar Activity over Millennia (2008, background): “Alternatively, an indirect mechanism also driven by solar activity, such as ionization of the atmosphere by CR (Usoskin and Kovaltsov, 2006) or the global terrestrial current system (Tinsley and Zhou, 2006) can modify atmospheric properties, in particular cloud cover (Ney, 1959; Svensmark, 1998).”
• A History of Solar Activity over Millennia (2008, unknown): “Alternatively, an indirect mechanism also driven by solar activity, such as ionization of the atmosphere by CR (Usoskin and Kovaltsov, 2006) or the global terrestrial current system (Tinsley and Zhou, 2006) can modify atmospheric properties, in particular cloud cover (Ney, 1959; Svensmark, 1998).”
