Abstract
We utilized the Forbush decreases (magnitude \(>1.5\%\)) detected in cosmic ray neutron monitor data during continuous five solar cycles, viz., 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 (1965 to 2019) and subjected them to wavelet analysis in order to obtain the possible periodicities in their occurrence. We also studied the periodicities separately during the odd and even solar activity cycles. In addition to solar activity, the solar magnetic polarity and its extension into the interplanetary space makes significant difference in the cosmic ray modulation in the helisphere, we have also applied the wavelet analysis procedure separately during positive (A > 0) and negative (A < 0) polarity states of the heliospheric magnetic fields. Observed periodicities in Forbush decreases have been discussed and compared with earlier detected periodicities in solar and geomagnetic activity indices, e.g., sunspot numbers, sunspot areas, sunspot groups, solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and various geomagnetic activity indices. Significant short-term periodic behaviour detected in the occurrence of Forbush decreases, which in general, corroborates the observed behaviour in solar (in particular, solar eruptive activity) and geomagnetic activity. Understanding the quasi-periodic process in magnetic field emergence from solar active regions and solar eruptive activity, as well as solar-terrestrial coupling and space weather effects, requires comparing the quasi-periodic behaviour between parameters representing solar and geomagnetic activity along with cosmic ray variability.
期刊介绍:
Astrophysics and Space Science publishes original contributions and invited reviews covering the entire range of astronomy, astrophysics, astrophysical cosmology, planetary and space science and the astrophysical aspects of astrobiology. This includes both observational and theoretical research, the techniques of astronomical instrumentation and data analysis and astronomical space instrumentation. We particularly welcome papers in the general fields of high-energy astrophysics, astrophysical and astrochemical studies of the interstellar medium including star formation, planetary astrophysics, the formation and evolution of galaxies and the evolution of large scale structure in the Universe. Papers in mathematical physics or in general relativity which do not establish clear astrophysical applications will no longer be considered.
The journal also publishes topically selected special issues in research fields of particular scientific interest. These consist of both invited reviews and original research papers. Conference proceedings will not be considered. All papers published in the journal are subject to thorough and strict peer-reviewing.
Astrophysics and Space Science features short publication times after acceptance and colour printing free of charge.
