Abstract
The aim of this paper is to investigate the association of the variation of very slow speed solar wind streams (VSSSWS) with the cosmic ray intensity (CRI) and Ae index for solar cycle 24 (2008-2013). A Chree analysis by the superposed epoch method has been done in the study. The results of the present analysis showed that VSSSWS are not able to produce decreases in CRI. The prime source of the variation in magnetic activity near aurora zone is the wind interaction with the magnetosphere, but the speed of VSSSWS is low enough to produce any significant impact on aurora zone magnetic activity.
