Peculiarities of cosmic ray intensity variations and anisotropy during recurrent Forbush effects.
Abstract
The relationship between recurrent Forbush decreases and recurrent intensifications of the interplanetary magnetic field is investigated on the basis of data from the global network of cosmic-ray stations for 1971-1981. Spectra are determined for recurrent and nonrecurrent Forbush decreases, and the meridional gradient of cosmic-ray density at earth orbit during recurrent Forbush decreases is assessed.
