Sandstroem, A E

A collection is given of tables and diagrams concerning Forbush decreases during the period Sept. 1, 1956, to Dec. 31, 1959. Bihourly diagrams of all C.R. storms recorded during this period were reproduced previously. Hourly and quarter-hourly values are presented for some of the most remarkable of these decreases. The simultaneity of certain characteristic details of C.R. storms, as registered by 8 separate instruments in Uppsala and Murchison Bay, is discussed. The ratios between the variations of the meson and nucleon components have been calculated for the Uppsala and Murchison Bay stations. Some conclusions are being drawn. The lapse of time between s.s.c: s and correlated Forbush decreases has been studied. (auth)
