Scientific paper

The onset of a new solar modulation cycle were studied in 1987 and 1988, on the basis of data on counting rates of particles with E greater than 60 MeV, observed at the IMP, Voyager (V), and Pioneer (P) satellites. It was found that the decrease at earth was rapid after the intensity maximum in early 1987 and was closely correlated with the increase in the average tilt of the heliospheric current sheet. The initial rapid intensity decrease was found to be related to three small Forbush decreases which are superimposed on a more gradual decrease. By the end of 1988, the intensity decreased by about 40 percent at earth, 30 percent at V2, and 18 percent at P10. This overall decrease was accompanied by an increase in the average integral radial gradient as well as a decrease in the radial dependence of the gradient. The onset of the new solar modulation cycle seems to be related to the complete altering of the solar magnetic structure as observed on the surface of the sun.
