Scientific paper

It is shown that the hydrodynamic outflow of gas from the sun observed by Biermann results in a reduction of the cosmic-ray intensity in the inner solar system during the years of solar activity. The computed cosmic-ray energy spectrum so closely resembles the observed spectrum at earth that we suggest the outflow of gas to be the explanation for the 11-year variation of the cosmic-ray intensity. It is also suggested that perhaps the Forbush-type decrease, which is a local geocentric phenomenon, is the result of disordering of the outer geomagnetic field by the outflowing gas from the sun.
