UNUSUAL COSMIC-RAY FLUCTUATIONS ON JULY 17 AND 18, 1959

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Letters
Between July 11 and 18, 1959, a remarkable succession of three large Forbush decreases of cosmic-ray -intensity occured. The third of these decreases, which coincided with a magnetic storm beginning at 1638 UT on July 17, about 19 hours after a class 3+ solar flare observed from 2115 to 2230 on July 16, exhibited unusual features which are pointed out. Unusual features include very rapid changes in intensity. (W.D.M.)
