The manifestation of the dark Universe begun with unexpected large-scale astronomical observations. Here we are investigating the possible origin of small-scale anomalies, like that of the annually observed temperature anomalies in the stratosphere (38.5 – 47.5 km). Unexpectedly within known physics, we observe a planetary relationship of the daily stratospheric temperature distribution. Interestingly, its spectral shape does not match concurrent solar activity (F10.7 line), or Sun’s EUV emission, whose impact on the atmosphere is unequivocal; this different behaviour points at an additional energy source of exo-solar origin. A viable concept behind such observations is based on possible gravitational focusing by the Sun and its planets towards the Earth of low-speed invisible (streaming) matter. When the Sun–Earth direction aligns with an invisible stream, its influx towards the Earth gets temporally enhanced. We denote generic constituents from the dark Universe as “invisible matter”, in order to distinguish them from ordinary dark matter candidates like axions or WIMPs, which cannot have any noticeable impact. Moreover, the observed peaking planetary relations exclude on their own any conventional explanation, be it due to any remote planetary interaction, or, intrinsic to the atmosphere. Only a somehow “strongly” interacting invisible streaming matter with the little screened upper stratosphere (ρoverhead 1 gr/cm3) can be behind the occasionally observed temperature increases. We also estimate an associated energy deposition O(W/m2), which is variable over the 11-years solar cycle. For the widely assumed picture of a quasi not-interacting dark Universe, this new exo-solar energy is enormous. Noticeably, our observationally derived conclusions are not in conflict with the null results of underground dark matter experiments, given that a similar planetary relationship is not observed even underneath the stratosphere (16–31 km). Interestingly, the atmosphere is uninterruptedly monitored since decades. Therefore, it can serve also parasitically as a novel (low threshold) detector for the dark Universe, with built-in spatiotemporal resolution and the Sun acting temporally as signal amplifier. Known phenomena (e.g., NAO, QBO and ENSO) influencing the general atmospheric circulation do not interfere with this work, since they occur geographically elsewhere, and, they have different periodicities. In future, analysing more observations, for example, from the anomalous ionosphere, or, the transient sudden stratospheric warmings, the nature of the assumed “invisible streams” could be deciphered.

平流层温度异常是来自黑暗宇宙的印记

黑暗宇宙的出现始于意料之外的大规模天文观测。在这里,我们正在研究小规模异常的可能成因,例如平流层(38.5 – 47.5 km)每年观测到的温度异常的起源。出乎意料的是,在已知物理学中,我们观察到了平流层每日温度分布的行星关系。有趣的是,它的光谱形状与同时发生的太阳活动(F10.7线)或太阳的EUV发射不匹配,后者对大气的影响是明确的。这种不同的行为指向了太阳系外起源的另一种能源。此类观测背后的可行概念是基于太阳及其行星对低速不可见(流)物质向地球的重力引力。当太阳-地球方向与一条不可见流对齐时,其向地球的流入会暂时增强。我们将来自黑暗宇宙的通用成分表示为““无形物质”,以便将它们与普通的暗物质候选物(例如斧头或WIMP)区分开,不会产生任何明显的影响。此外,观测到的最高行星关系本身不包括任何常规解释,这是由于任何遥远的行星相互作用或大气固有的。只有某种程度的“强烈”相互作用的不可见流物质与经过筛选的高层平流层(ρ高架 1 gr / cm 3)可能是偶尔观察到的温度升高的原因。我们还估计了相关的能量沉积O(瓦特/米2),它在11年的太阳周期内是可变的。对于一个广泛假设的准不相互作用的黑暗宇宙的图片,这种新的太阳系外能量是巨大的。值得注意的是,鉴于即使在平流层之下(16-31 km)也未观察到类似的行星关系,我们的观察得出的结论与地下暗物质实验的无效结果并不矛盾。有趣的是,几十年来一直不间断地监测大气。因此,它还可以寄生地用作暗宇宙的新型(低阈值)检测器,具有内置的时空分辨率,太阳在时间上充当信号放大器。影响一般大气环流的已知现象(例如NAO,QBO和ENSO)不会干扰这项工作,因为它们发生在其他地方,并且,他们有不同的周期性。将来,通过分析更多的观测结果,例如来自异常电离层或瞬时的平流层突然变暖的情况,可以破译假定的“不可见流”的性质。
