Recurrent galactic cosmic-ray flux modulation in L1 and geomagnetic activity during the declining phase of the solar cycle 24
2020
Galactic cosmic-ray (GCR) flux short-term variations ($ $ 400 km s$^{-1}$ and/or the IP magnetic field intensity $>$ 10 nT. It is shown that the amplitude and evolution of individual modulations depend in a unique way on both IP plasma parameters and particle flux intensity before HSS and ICMEs transit. By comparing the LPF data with those gathered contemporaneously with the magnetic spectrometer experiment AMS-02 on board the International Space Station and with those of Earth polar neutron monitors, the GCR flux modulation was studied at different energies during recurrent short-term variations. It is also aimed to set the near real-time particle observation requirements to disentangle the role of long and short-term variations of the GCR flux to evaluate the performance of high-sensitivity instruments in space such as the future interferometers for gravitational wave detection. Finally, the association between recurrent GCR flux variation observations in L1 and weak to moderate geomagnetic activity in 2016-2017 is discussed. Short-term recurrent GCR flux variations are good proxies of recurrent geomagnetic activity when the B$_z$ component of the IP magnetic field is directed northern.
