Geomagnetic sequence associated with a most pronounced u.m.-region of 1953 was analyzed. It was concluded that the trapped particles of the solar ion streams in the radiation belt may be responsible for the increases in cosmic ray intensities associated with quite M-storms. In this way, the radiation belt acts as the secondary source of cosmic ray particles. During the sunspot maximum period, these increases of cosmic ray intensity will get masked on account of very many solar-ion streams of large frozen-in magnetic fields. Hence, observations of such in- . creases in cosmic rays during the high sunspot period should not be expected. (Meteorol. Geoastrophys. Abstr., Feb. 1962)
