Previous studies have established that large merged interaction regions (MIRs) in the outer heliosphere are the main cause of the 11-year modulation cycle of galactic cosmic rays in the ecliptic. Those simulations were successful despite their use of a constant convection speed. In this study, we show that a large rise in solar wind speed, seen at higher heliographic latitudes during 1985-1987, combined with MIRs, can generate the difference between the Voyager I and Voyager 2 count rates in this period. Also, the difference between the starting times of the new cycle at both spacecraft is directly attributable to the difference between the pattern of MIRs measured at the two spacecraft. In addition, the Voyager 2 simulation exhibits the correct behavior of the 11-year cycle in the cosmic ray radial gradients between points in the outer heliosphere.
