In this paper, a detailed statistical analysis of cosmic-ray intensity data for the period 1964-1985 covering two solar cycles is performed to investigate the solar activity behaviour in relation to cosmic-rays modulation.
Abstract
Cosmic-ray intensity data for the period 1964–1985 covering two solar cycles are used to investigate the solar activity behaviour in relation to cosmic-ray modulation A detailed statistical analysis of them shows a large time-lag of about one and half years between cosmic-ray intensity and solar activity (as indicated by sunspot number, solar flares and high-speed solar-wind streams) during the 21st solar cycle appearing for a first time This lag indicates the very high activity level of this solar cycle estimating the size of the modulating region to the unambiguous value of 180 AU The account of the solar-wind speed in the 11-year variation significantly decreases the modulation region of cosmic-rays to the value of 40 AU

Possible Estimation of the Solar Cycle Characteristic Parameters by the 10.7 cm Solar Radio Flux

TL;DR: In this article, two independent methods for estimating basic parameters of the solar cycle are presented: ascending-descending triangle method and MinimaxX method, which uses a significant relation in the international sunspot number between the maximum value of a solar cycle and its value 2.5 or 3 years before the preceding minimum.

Hale-cycle effects in cosmic-ray intensity during the last four cycles

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the polarity reversals of the polar magnetic field of the Sun on the heliosphere was investigated using both open and closed models of the system and showed that even and odd solar activity cycles can be explained in terms of different contributions of convection, diffusion and drift mechanisms.

Essential features of the 11-year solar cycle

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have confirmed the fact that the 11-year cycle consists of two events (maxima) having different features during the first maximum (it coincides in time with the maximum of the Wolf numbers) and the second maximum occurs 2-3 years after the first one.
