THE COSMIC RAY STORM OF JULY 1961

· Journal of the Franklin Institute (U.S.)
Observations of sudden cosmic-ray increases up to 8 million km from the earth were made using a space probe and satellite. Measurements were made in July, 196l. Intensity peaks arose from a directional anisotropy, possibly caused by turbulent magnetic fields in the solar plasma which produced the Forbush decrease. Although a geocentric mechanism involving an interaction between the geomagnetic field and the magnetized cloud producing the basic modulation is not precluded as an explanation of temporary increases, a change-in-cutoff model seems untenable for describing the fine structure in the cosmic storm. Effects observed could be ascribed to holes in the modulating region or to local acceleration effects. (L.N.N.)
