Thesis (M.Sc. (Physics))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2006. The existence of a Fisk-type heliospheric magnetic field (HMF) is one of the most debated questions in cosmic-ray modulation. Recently, Burger and Hitge [2004] developed a divergence-free Fisk-Parker hybrid magnetic field m...
