Scientific paper

Time series have been derived for changes of the amplitude and the hour of maximum of the diurnal component of the daily variation of the pressure-corrected meson intensity at Godhavn from Carnegie Institution data. While these series show some features which are strikingly similar to those observed at other stations, the variability at Godhavn is much greater than elsewhere. Comparison of the series at Godhavn with the corresponding series for the mean changes observed at Cheltenham and Christchurch permits information to be derived concerning changes in the mean energy of cosmic-ray primaries responsible for the daily variation, and their "stiffness" in the geomagnetic field. On the basis of an interpretation in terms of continuous emission of cosmic rays from the sun, there is evidence for an increase in the mean energy of solar cosmic rays from 1940 to 1944. Reasons are given for believing that during 1944, the solar cosmic rays became richer in alpha particles as compared to protons.
