Description
Summary:We present the results of near-Earth interplanetary space, magnetosphere, and atmosphere monitoring during large-scale solar wind disturbances at the end of August 2005. The monitoring was carried out using ground-level cosmic ray (CR) observations made at the worldwide network of neutron monitors as well as muon telescopes in Yakutsk and Novosibirsk. As a result of the analysis performed by different methods, we have obtained variation properties of CRs of different rigidities in Earth’s orbit, their pitch angle anisotropy, orientation and configuration of the interplanetary magnetic field, changes in the planetary system of geomagnetic cutoff rigidities during geomagnetic disturbances, as well as mass average air temperature over CR stations equipped with muon telescopes. For the periods of geomagnetic disturbances, we have determined parameters of magnetospheric ring current and magnetopause currents.
