VARIATIONS IN INTENSITY OF COSMIC RADIATION DURING MAGNETIC STORMS WITH A SUDDEN AND GRADUAL COMMENCEMENT. A.I.01
Variations in cosmic-ray intensity during magnetic storms were investigated by the epoch superposition method, using mean daily values of cosmic meson intensities taken from Apr. 1937 to Dec. 1946 at Godhaven, Chaltnam, Wankayo, and Christchurch. During suddenly com mencing storms, cosmic radiation intensity was found to decrease by 0.7%, while during gradually commencing storms, the intensity remained constant within 0.2%. Measurements were taken during the IGY at Heuss Island, Moscow, Berkeley, and Zugqpitye. During suddenly commencing storms, an intensity decrease of 2.0% was observed, while during gradually commencing storms, an intensity increase of almost 1% was found. The IGY measurements included neutron intensities. Possible solar origins of the intensity fluctuations were discussed. (TCO)
