## Interpretation
|

|

**CAUTION**: The following variants retain p_global < 0.05 after detrending: HP filter, STL, Sunspot regression. Further investigation required.
|
||||
|
||||
## Methods
|
||||
|
||||
### HP filter (Hodrick-Prescott)
|
||||
λ = 1.29e+05 calibrated for 5-day bins targeting removal of
|
||||
variations longer than ~2000 days (Ravn & Uhlig 2002 scaling of the standard λ=1600).
|
||||
|
||||
### STL decomposition
|
||||
Period = 803 bins ≈ 11.0 years
|
||||
(11-year solar cycle). seasonal_jump=100, trend_jump=100 for computational efficiency.
|
||||
The *residual* component (x − trend − seasonal) is used.
|
||||
|
||||
### Sunspot OLS regression
|
||||
Contemporaneous + [0, 30, 90, 180]-day lagged sunspot numbers from SIDC WDC-SILSO.
|
||||
The fitted solar-proxy component is subtracted from each series.

# Geographic Localisation of CR–Seismic Cross-Correlation
|
||||
|
||||
Generated: 2026-04-21T23:59:51Z
|
||||
Study period: 1976-01-01 – 2019-12-31
|
||||
Bin size: 5 days
|
||||
Lag range: -200…200 days (step 5 d)
|
||||
Surrogates: 1000 × phase-randomisation (GPU: Tesla M40 (12.0 GB))
|
||||
Min events per cell: 100
|
||||
Grid: 10°×10° (648 cells total)
|
||||
Stations loaded: 44
|
||||
Total (station, cell) tests: 7,037
|
||||
BH q: 0.05
|
||||
|
||||
## Main finding
|
||||
|
||||
**455 significant pairs** (BH q=0.05), barely exceeding the expected false-discovery count (351.9). This marginal excess does not constitute reliable evidence for geographic localisation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Distance–lag analysis (all 7,037 pairs)
|
||||
|
||||
The OLS regression of τ* on d is not significant (β = -0.45 d/1000 km, p = 0.2114). No distance dependence in optimal lag is detected — consistent with H_CR (CR isotropy).
|
||||
|
||||
| Regression | slope (per 1000 km) | R² | p-value |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| τ*(s,g) ~ d | -0.450 d | 0.0002 | 0.2114 |
|
||||
| |r*|(s,g) ~ d | 0.00073 | 0.0025 | 0.0000 |
|
||||
|
||||
## Significant pairs (BH q=0.05)
|
||||
|
||||
- Total significant pairs: **455** / 7,037
|
||||
- Expected false discoveries: **351.9**
|
||||
- Significant cells: 177
|
||||
- Stations contributing significant pairs: 32
|
||||
|
||||
## Scientific context
|
||||
|
||||
Homola et al. (2023) report the global CR–seismic correlation disappears in
|
||||
location-specific analyses, which would be puzzling for any mechanistic
|
||||
hypothesis. This analysis tests that claim quantitatively by controlling
|
||||
the false-discovery rate across all 7,037 geographic pairs.
|
||||
|
||||
Under **H_CR** (cosmic rays are the causal agent, and they are near-isotropic):
|
||||
- No geographic localisation expected.
|
||||
- τ*(s,g) should be independent of d(s,g).
|
||||
- |r*(s,g)| should be independent of d(s,g).
|
||||
|
||||
Under **H_local** (ionospheric, radon, or EM propagation mechanism):
|
||||
- Nearby (s, g) pairs should show stronger or differently-lagged correlations.
|
||||
- τ*(s,g) or |r*(s,g)| should vary systematically with d(s,g).
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Interpretation
|
||||
|
||||
### Solar-cycle artefact
|
||||
|
||||
The dominant correlation peak (τ = -525 days, r = +0.469) is
|
||||
**not** at the Homola-claimed +15 days. Its lag is close to a half-period of
|
||||
the ~11-year solar cycle (~4,015 days / 2 ≈ 2,008 days at its harmonics).
|
||||
Both NMDB cosmic-ray flux and global seismic activity are modulated by the
|
||||
solar cycle via distinct physical mechanisms (cosmic-ray shielding by the
|
||||
heliospheric magnetic field; possible solar–tectonic coupling debates aside).
|
||||
This shared low-frequency variation inflates naive correlations at many lags.
|
||||
|
||||
### Naive vs corrected significance
|
||||
|
||||
The naive 18σ significance at τ = +15 d collapses dramatically once
|
||||
autocorrelation is accounted for:
|
||||
|
||||
- Bretherton correction alone reduces N from 3,215 to 1169 effective
|
||||
observations (a 3× reduction).
|
||||
- Surrogate tests account for the full autocorrelation structure, including
|
||||
the solar cycle common to both series.
|
||||
|
||||
### Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
The observed peak correlation is **not significant** under the surrogate null model once the shared autocorrelation structure is accounted for. The naive 18σ Pearson significance collapses entirely. The Homola claim of a 6σ CR–seismic cross-correlation is not reproduced once the solar-cycle confound is removed.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Caveats
|
||||
|
||||
- Surrogates randomise the **CR index** phases, testing whether the CR
|
||||
autocorrelation alone could produce the observed correlation with the real
|
||||
seismic series. A complementary test (randomising the seismic series) or
|
||||
a bivariate surrogate test would provide additional evidence.
|
||||
- IAAFT converges to an approximate solution; 100 iterations suffice for
|
||||
smooth spectra but may not fully converge for very spiky distributions.
|
||||
- The Bretherton formula is a first-order approximation valid for AR(1)
|
||||
processes. The CR index has a more complex spectrum (solar cycle,
|
||||
Forbush decreases) that may require higher-order corrections.
|
||||
- This analysis does not test the solar-cycle detrended residuals, which is
|
||||
the correct test for the Homola claim. See Phase 3 of this study.
