Scientific paper

Experimental data from stratospheric observations are used to investigate the percentage modulation and modulation energy spectrum of galactic cosmic rays in interplanetary space due to the general magnetic field of the sun. It is shown that the general solar magnetic field reduces the intensity of galactic cosmic rays in interplanetary space by about 40% for a cutoff rigidity of 0.5 GV. The modulation energy spectrum due to the general solar magnetic field is found to be substantially different from that resulting from the solar cycle of sunspot formation. It is suggested that structural changes in the solar magnetosphere apparently produce corresponding changes in conditions for galactic-cosmic-ray penetration into interplanetary space.
