Abstract

Variations in the energy spectrum of galactic cosmic rays during Forbush decreases registered in the 20–23 solar activity cycles are studied, using the data from neutron monitors and the Yakutsk cosmic ray spectrograph. It is shown that the Forbush decreases in the 23rd cycle of solar activity had a harder energy spectrum than in the three previous cycles, due to the relatively low level of turbulence of the interplanetary magnetic field during the 23rd solar activity cycle.
