Solar Modulation on Galactic Cosmic Rays in the Earth’s Atmosphere
A brief review of solar modulation on galactic cosmic rays in the earth’s atmosphere is presented. The results of the characterizations of the major two events i.e. Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs)(measured in counts) and Galactic Solar rays(GSRs) (measured in counts) against time (measured in hour) shows significant variations. It was also observed that the variations of the events are slightly out...
متن کاملPhysical Investigation of Space, Dosimetry of Space Ionizing Ray Effect (Van Allen belts, Galactic Cosmic Rays and Solar particles) and Plotting Dose Map for Satellite Circular Missions
One of the main factors for satellite design is simulating of total ionizing dose due to space ionizing rays in devices used in space. By measurement of induced dose based on available data in different altitudes, expenses of designing, satellite weight and amount of needed fuel will be reduced. Optimum design of satellite for protecting satellite against ionizing radiation has considerable eff...
متن کاملInfluence of Cosmic Rays on Earth’s Climate
During the last solar cycle Earth’s cloud cover underwent a modulation more closely in phase with the galactic cosmic ray flux than with other solar activity parameters. Further it is found that Earth’s temperature follows more closely decade variations in galactic cosmic ray flux and solar cycle length, than other solar activity parameters. The main conclusion is that the average state of the ...
متن کاملAtmospheric gamma rays from solar energetic particles and cosmic rays penetrating the magnetosphere
We detail observations of gamma rays produced by interactions of cosmic rays and solar-energetic particles on the Earth’s atmosphere. The Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) spectrometer accumulated the quiescent atmospheric spectrum over its full 9-year lifetime and our analysis revealed 20 resolved line features. We compare this spectrum with one collected on October 20, 1989, when SMM observed gamma...
متن کاملPoor Understanding of Radiation Profiles in Deep Space Causes Inaccurate Findings and Misleading Conclusions
The radiation environment in deep space, where astronauts are behind the shelter provided by the Earth’s magnetosphere, is a major health concern. Galactic cosmic rays (GCR) and solar particle events (SPE) are two basic sources of space radiation in the solar system. The health risks of exposure to high levels of space radiation can be observed either as acute and delayed effects. Zhang et al. ...
