The nature of differences found in the past (Venkatesan and Badruddin, 1990; Ahluwalia, 1991; Webber and Lockwood, 1988) between the galactic cosmic ray (GCR) intensities at the solar activity minima for the odd and the even solar cycles, was investigated in experiments conducted in an ionization chamber for more than four solar-activity cycles, using neutron monitors to measure the GCR intensity. Results of these experiments indicate that the differences in the GCR intensity and in the anisotropy vector position observed between odd and even solar cycles can be understood in light of several phenomena. One is the high-velocity outbursts of solar wind, depending on the level of solar activity. The other is the presence of large-scale magnetic inhomogeneities in the low-velocity 'belt' of solar wind near the neutral IMF surface.
