PECULIARITIES OF SPORADIC VARIATIONS IN DENSITY AND ANISOTROPY OF GALACTIC COSMIC RAYS IN SOLAR CYCLE 24
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2022, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
In this work, we have processed data from the global network of neutron monitors and muon telescopes by the global survey method to study variations in the density and anisotropy of galactic cosmic rays during Forbush decreases observed in solar cycle 24. The simultaneous use of two different type detectors made it possible to examine the temporal dynamics of the angular distribution of cosmic rays in two different energy intervals. Besides, we have used measurements of the Yakutsk cosmic ray spectrograph after A.I. Kuzmin to assess the energy spectrum index during large disturbances of the interplanetary medium in this cycle. Analysis of the results obtained confirms our early statements that solar activity cycle 24 features an increased level of turbulence in the interplanetary magnetic field.

RESPONSE OF IONOSPHERIC ELECTRON DENSITY PROFILE TO THE ACTION OF POWERFUL HF RADIO-WAVE RADIATION
Using electron density and temperature equations, we have modeled the dynamics of the electron density profile in the ionosphere due to the expulsion of plasma from localization regions of plasma waves, pumped by high-po...
MODULATION OF SPORADIC E LAYERS BY SMALL-SCALE ATMOSPHERIC WAVES IN EARTH’S HIGH-LATITUDE IONOSPHERE
We have used radio occultation measurements of the satellite CHAMP (Challenging Minisatellite Payload) to examine sporadic E layers (altitudes 90–130 km) in Earth’s high-latitude ionosphere. We have developed a new metho...
TURBULENT PARAMETERS AT DIFFERENT HEIGHTS IN THE ATMOSPHERE. SHACK–HARTMANN WAVEFRONT SENSOR DATA
The paper presents the results of studies of wavefront distortions at different heights in the atmosphere. We have used measurement wavefront data to determine optical turbulence parameters along the line of sight of the...
HEURISTIC MODEL OF SOLAR X-RAY SPECTRUM ACCORDING TO SATELLITE DATA FOR GEOPHYSICAL APPLICATIONS
Model and computational algorithm for recovering the X-ray component of the solar spectrum based on GOES XL (0.1–0.8 nm), XS (0.05–0.4 nm or 0.05–0.3 nm) and SDO QD (0.1–7 nm) channels data are presented. The model based...
LONG-TERM TREND OF THE IONOSPHERIC E-LAYER RESPONSE TO SOLAR FLARES
Using data from ground-based vertical sounding of the ionosphere (VS) at the station Moscow and five Japanese stations for the period from 1969 to 2015, we have examined the long-term response of the E layer to solar X-r...
