DEPENDENCE OF SOLAR COSMIC-RAY INTENSITY ON LOCATION OF CHROMOSPHERIC FLARES

OSTI ID:4809578
Soviet studies of cosmic neutron data indicate that conditions for the propagation of relatively high-energy particles (several Bev) toward the earth are independent of the longitudinal distribution of chromospheric flares. Thule monitored data confirmed that approximately twice as many low-energy particles were incident on the earth when a flare occurred on the western solar limb as when it occurred on the eastern limb. The analysis, covering 149 chromospheric flares with magnitudes of 2 or higher, shows that the intensity of solar cosmic rays produced by flares between the solar equatoin and 10 deg solar latitude is 1.5 times greater than the intensity of radiation from flares between 10 and 50 deg solar latitude.
