Description
Earth-directed Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) emanating from the Sun and the shock associated with it are the primary drivers of space weather disturbances. Forbush decrease precursors are advance warning of these upcoming magnetic field disturbances. GRAPES-3 tracking muon telescope which is a part of GRAPES-3 experiment located in Ooty, India, provides high statistics measurement of the muon flux with good temporal resolution. In this study we are using data from GRAPES-3 muon telescope and making use of its multidirectional observations to study the Forbush decrease precursors in greater detail. We have identified few Forbush decrease precursor signatures in muon flux well before the arrival of the actual shock. We use these Forbush decrease precursors to study the characteristics of magnetic field compression associated with the upcoming CME shock-sheath system.
