Scientific paper

At 83 AU, the flux of ACR oxygen with greater than 2.3 GV recovered to near solar minimum levels at the end of 2001, following a decrease of less than a factor of two at solar maximum. However, there continued to be a larger modulation between Voyager 1 at 83 AU and Voyager 2 at 66 AU. Comparison of the outward extrapolations of that gradient and of the much smaller gradients observed at solar minimum provides an estimate of the remaining distance to the termination shock at this time in the solar cycle.
