As a result of numerous experiments and calculations, the method of short-term prediction and diagnostics of shock waves by means of ground-based observations of cosmic-ray scintillations, is elaborated. The study of scintillation phenomena in cosmic rays is divided into a number of problems connected with the interaction of charged particles of cosmic radiation with the matter and fields which they encounter in the entire length of their propagation. It is shown that high-frequency scintillations greater than or equal to 0.00001 Hz are able to sense an approaching shock wave and that scintillations with periods of the order of 10-20 and 40-50 min are most sensitive to interplanetary medium disturbances near the earth. Since cosmic rays of different energies are sensitive to different processes in interplanetary space at different distances from the earth, the conditions in the interplanetary medium up to 10 to the 15th cm from the earth can be studied by measuring particle fluxes at different energy ranges.
