β¦ Synopsis
Data of cosmic-ray intensity from the Calgary Super Neutron Monitor and interplanetary plasma and field data are divided into three groups corresponding to the magnetic clouds preceded by shocks, followed by interaction region and clouds without any such association, observed during the period 1967-1982. A superposed epoch analysis of these data, in addition to the field variance data, have been performed, The results suggest the hypothesis that the Forbush decreases are caused by the scattering of particles in the region of enhanced turbulence, observed during the passage of shocked plasma (i.e., sheath) between the shock front and the magnetic cloud.

H. Alfv~n's theory envisages a stream of gas shot out from a place on the sun where there is a large magnetic field. The gas, supposed highly conducting, carries the magnetic field H with it, and the field is supposed to be perpendicular to the velocity v. A stationary observer observes an electric
The cosmic ray 11-year variation for solar cycle 20 is attributed to the modulating effect of solar flare-induced shocks propagating through the interplanetary medium to the boundary of the heliosphere. The relative influence of these disturbances upon the cosmic ray intensity as a function of their
