Description
The time-dependent modulation of galactic cosmic rays in the heliosphere is studied over different polarity cycles by computing 2.5 GV proton intensities using a two-dimensional, time-dependent modulation model. By incorporating recent theoretical advances in the relevant transport parameters in the model we showed in previous work that this approach gave realistic computed intensities over a solar cycle. New in this work is that a refinement to this approach is proposed that would lead to an increase in compatibility between model results and spacecraft observations.
