Recent studies have identified a quasi six-year oscillation (QSYO) spanning various Earth system parameters, including the length of day, polar motion, secular variation of the magnetic field, sea level, precipitation, terrestrial water storage, land ice, and winds. This oscillation is linked to fluid dynamics processes in the liquid outer core, yet the mechanism facilitating its transmission from the core to the broader Earth system remains unclear. One of the proposed scenario is the plausible role of the magnetic field as a conduit for transmitting the QSYO from the core to the climatic system
Leveraging data from atmospheric and magnetic models alongside observations from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), our approach employs statistical analysis to explore the presence of the QSYO in the atmosphere. We specifically analyze various parameters in both the charged (e.g., Total Electron Content - TEC) and neutral (e.g., nebulosities) atmospheric layers. This study aims to establish the existence of the QSYO in the atmosphere and link its variations with those from core in the magnetic field.
