Radial and transverse gradients of cosmic rays in the 22-year solar cycle
Abstract
The transverse and radial gradients of cosmic rays in interplanetary space are determined from the expected heliolatitudinal and heliocentric radial distributions of the relative density of galactic cosmic rays. An analysis is made of the dependence of the radial gradient for particles with a rigidity of 10 GV on distance for different periods and different orientations of the solar magnetic field; and of the distribution of the transverse gradient for different epochs in relation to solar latitude at a distance of 1 AU for particles with a rigidity of 10 GV for different orientations of the solar magnetic field.
