Abstract
The electromagnetic and corpuscular emission of the Sun, such as we have described them in the preceding chapters, characterize the normal Sun with its cyclical variations. It frequently happens, especially outside the periods of minimum solar activity, that this emission is temporarily greatly increased. These increases are followed, after a greater or lesser delay, by disturbances in the upper atmosphere and in the terrestrial magnetic field, whose effects are noticeable even at ground level.
