THE RECOVERY CHARACTERISTICS OF FORBUSH DECREASES AND THE CONFIGURATION OF THE ASSOCIATED SOLAR EMISSION

Journal Article · · J. Phys. Soc. Japan
OSTI ID:4755187

Forbush decreases accompanying single magnetic storms are found on the average to recover fast or slow depending on whether the latter are strong or weak. In addition, the recovery rates of the mixed Forbush decreases appear to be related with the volume occupied in space by the emission associated with magnetic storms. This emission is therefore suggested to occur either in narrow cones or omntdirectionally. It is shown that it not only explains satisfactorily a wide range of recovery rates of Forbush decreases viz. few hours to two weeks but also helps in understanding the total absence of magnetic storms after some large solar disturbances.
