Scientific paper

Two types of interplanetary shocks have been identified and classified into two groups, those associated with a helium-enhancement and those not associated with any helium-enhancement. The cosmic-ray intensity decreases at Calgary neutron monitor are studied with respect to the arrival time of the two groups of shocks. The observations show that the large Forbush decreases are caused by shocks associated with the helium-enhancement; and those not associated with He shocks show comparatively a small decrease in cosmic-ray intensity.
