In this paper, an empirical relation for the cosmic-ray modulation has been found, which is well explained by a generalization of the Simpson solar wind model which has been proved by the spherically symmetric diffusion-convection theory.
Abstract
An analysis of monthly data from nine world-wide neutron monitoring stations over the period 1965–1975 is carried out for the study of the long-term cosmic-ray modulation. In an attempt to gain insight into the relationships which exist between solar activity, high-speed solar wind streams and various terrestrial phenomena an empirical relation for the cosmic-ray modulation has been found. Accordingly the modulated cosmic-ray intensity is equal to the galactic cosmic-ray intensity corrected by a few appropriate solar, interplanetary and terrestrial activity indices which causes the disturbances in interplanetary space, multiplying with the corresponding time-lag of cosmic-ray intensity from each of these indices. This relation is well explained by a generalization of the Simpson solar wind model which has been proved by the spherically symmetric diffusion-convection theory.

TL;DR: In this article, the long-term modulation of galactic cosmic-rays has been studied using nine world-wide neutron monitor stations for the period 1975-1985 and the empirical formula which has been used to compute the longterm cosmic-ray variations follows the observations fairly well.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the hysteresis effect to model the relationship between neutron counting rates (NCRs), an indicator of the GCR intensity, and sunspot numbers (SSNs) over the period that covers the last four solar cycles (20, 21, 22, and 23).

High-speed solar-wind streams and galactic cosmic-ray modulation

TL;DR: In this article, two classes of fast solar-wind streams are identified: quiet streams and perturbed streams, coming from active regions producing type-IV solar flares, which are accompanied by Forbush decreases whose amplitude and time behaviour are not directly related to speed increase.
