Features of Cosmic-Ray Variations due to Variations in the Total Magnetic Field of the Sun
Abstract
The characteristics of the large-scale variations in cosmic ray intensity associated with variations in the total solar magnetic field are discussed. Particular attention is given to cosmic ray effects connected with solar magnetic field inversion and the presence in the stratosphere of short-range particles during periods of increasing total solar magnetic field, and to zonal cosmic ray modulation in the primary energy range 5-20 GeV which is due largely to magnetic field variations at the periphery of the heliosphere.
