= O'Connell effect
{wiki=O'Connell_effect}
The O'Connell effect refers to a phenomenon in the field of geophysics, specifically related to the behavior of electromagnetic waves in the presence of a magnetic field. It describes the way in which the polarization of electromagnetic waves can be altered due to interactions with charged particles in a plasma or magnetized environment. This effect is particularly significant in the study of space weather and can have implications for understanding the behavior of solar particles in the Earth's magnetosphere.
