Description
Summary:A three-dimensional model for the calculation of cosmic-ray intensity of the Inuvik station during the 20th and 21st solar cycles is given. Especially we have studied the coefficient K of the used parameter of sunspot number in terms of high-speed solar-wind streams and have tried enough successfully to relate this coefficient with the diffusion process of cosmic rays in the interplanetary space. Analyzing these two data sets for the time-period 1964-1985 into a network of trigonometric series we have observed similar period in the two sets. It means that we have the same in general line variations in the high-speed streams as well as to the coefficient K expressed by this way the diffusion coefficient of cosmic-rays. © 1988 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
