Unusual decrease of the cosmic ray intensity in May 2019 on the background of the minima solar activity
2021
In May 2019 there was a long and sloping decreasing of cosmic ray’s intensity (up to ~4%), which was observed
on neutron monitors. Despite this was a small decreasing compared to quasi-eleven-period variation, it stands
out well in 24th cycle of solar activity.
According to LASCO/SOHO and STEREO-A data from spectrometer in different UHF bands and from coronograph,
there was a series of CMEs which affected on modulation of cosmic rays by creating a series of Forbush decrea -
sing, which didn’t restore. This series was connected to two active regions on sun and began on April 30 from
“reversed halo” CME. This CME didn’t reach the earth, but led to significant additional modulation of cosmic rays,
mostly on east side. Later there was a series of smaller CMEs on May 1-6, which also didn’t reach the earth, but
were gradually approaching to Earth. Recent CMEs on 8-9 and 12-13 created a normal Forbush decreasing.
In May 2019, cosmic rays shown again, that they can collect information about distant objects of geliosphere and
transmit it to Earth. The ground-level detectors sometimes can observe an interaction of interplanetary distur-
bances, which didn‘t reach the earth. East CMEs are especially effective, because they closing magnetic field
lines beyond the orbit of earth and can interfere the restoring of cosmic ray’s intensity.
