Through variations in its magnetic activity at different timescales, the Sun strongly influences the space weather conditions throughout the heliosphere. The most known solar activity variation is the Schwabe Cycle, also known as the Sunspot Cycle (SCs), period of which ranges from 9 to 13 years. The Sun also shows shorter quasi-periodic variations, such as the quasi-biennial oscillations (QBOs), superposed on the SCs. The QBOs are thought to be a global phenomena extending from the subsurface layers of the Sun to Earth and throughout the Heliosphere with a period generally between 1.3 and 1.6 years. In this study, we, for the first time, detected signals with periods ranging from 1.3 to 1.6 years in Earth's magnetosphere, which can be associated with the solar QBOs, using data from multiple GOES missions. The QBO-like signals detected in Earths Magnetopshere are thought to be propagated via the solar wind from the solar surface.
