Galactic cosmic ray intensity in the inner and outer heliosphere in the epoch of the solar cycle 24 minimum

Abstract

The behavior of the observed and expected Galactic cosmic ray (GRC) intensity both near the Earth and in the outer heliosphere is considered. The hypothesis is discussed of the strong dependence of the GCR intensity in the interaction region of the solar and interstellar winds on the heliospheric magnetic field polarity in the epoch of a solar activity minimum.
