Abstract: | Galactic cosmic rays, registered by ground-based neutron monitors, are strongly affected by the heliosphere, i.e., being subjected to solar modulation. Cosmic ray variations are closely related to different solar activity indices and IMF parameters. The longitudinal inhomogeneity of the general solar magnetic field as a star and the manifestation of this inhomogeneity in the magnetic field are considered in the work. It has been established that the longitudinal inhomogeneity of this field, with the dipole distribution of polarities along heliolongitude, mainly contributes to 27-day modulation of galactic cosmic rays. |
