structures in thw solar wind and their influences in inner heliosphere

Abstract

Large-scale structures in the solar-wind i.e. interplanetary coronal mass ejections, newlineinterplanetary shocks, magnetic clouds, corotating interaction regions etc, have been newlineidentified in the inner heliosphere near-Earth space using space-based and groundbased newline newlineobservations. Continuous observations of these structures and solar-wind newlineplasma/field parameters are available at least for solar cycle 23 (1995 and#61485; 2009) and newlinelater periods. Simultaneous ground-based cosmic ray data by neutron monitors (NMs) newlinelocated at different latitudes and longitudes is also being recorded world wide. In this newlinework, we concentrate on the study of large-scale structures in the inner heliosphere newlineand their effects on the cosmic-ray intensity and simultaneously on solar-wind newline
