The modulation of galactic cosmic rays is described in terms of a generalized force-field equation for a mixture of particles to which a neutron monitor is sensitive. The force-field solution is used to derive the modulation parameters from observations inside the atmosphere in an energy region well above the effective high-energy limit of satellite observations. The parameters are calculated in the rigidity range from about 2 to 15 GV and provide statistically accurate extensions in rigidity to existing results. The limitations of the modified convection-diffusion approximation for modulation studies in the rigidity range from about 2 to 15 GV are indicated.
