The Earth's atmosphere is under the influence of ionizing and heat sources. Air pollutants (aerosols, in particular) affect the heating of the atmosphere, make ionized and condense moisture. Gyrotropy of the atmosphere is connected with the influence of the Coriolis force on the movement of particles, and for charged particles in the geomagnetic field – with the influence of the Lorentz force. Sources of suspended particles – aerosols – are diverse. Plasma vortices are built up in cellular spatial distributions of ionized aerosols. The maximum of ionization of atmospheric particles by cosmic rays corresponds to the heights of formation of tropospheric cloudiness. Condensation on aerosols is amplified with particle ionization, because these particles are hydrophilic. An important role of aerosols is manifested in generation of plasma vortices and in accumulation of energy and mass of the vortices in the atmosphere at when condensating. The genesis of cyclones and anticyclones is associated with nonlinear interaction of hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic structures. The interaction with plasma vortices occurs at the rotary level. Since the process of formation of ionizing particles is a cascade one, the influence of cosmic rays on vortex atmospheric processes is essentially nonlinear. The influence of ionizing solar and galactic cosmic rays on the dynamics of plasma atmospheric vortices is enhanced with an increase in air pollution.
Keywords: gyrotropy, plasma vortices, the geomagnetic field, atmospheric electric fields, aerosol particles, cosmic radiation
