The GLE of May 2, 1998: An Effect of Disturbed Magnetosphere on Solar Cosmic Rays
Abstract
The GLE of May 2, 1998 occurred during disturbed interplanetary and magnetospheric conditions. The very complicated picture of the increase effects at different neutron monitor stations has been analyzed using the results of asymptotic direction calculations. The Tsyganenko 89 geomagnetic field model has been used in these calculations to reveal the primary solar proton anisotropy characteristics as well as possible disturbed magnetosphere effect on the observed ground level enhancements.
