Large Amplitude Wave Trains In Cosmic Ray Intensity, Rajesh K. Mishra, Rekha Agarwal Mishra Jan 2004

Large Amplitude Wave Trains In Cosmic Ray Intensity, Rajesh K. Mishra, Rekha Agarwal Mishra

Turkish Journal of Physics

Using ground-based neutron monitor data of Deep River, the high amplitude anisotropic wave train events (HAE) in cosmic ray intensity have been investigated during the period 1991--1994. It has been observed that the phase of diurnal anisotropy for majority of HAE cases remains in the same co-rotational direction, whereas for some HAE cases the phase of diurnal anisotropy has shifted to later hours. For the majority of HAE cases the amplitude of semi-diurnal anisotropy remains statistically the same, whereas the phase of semi-diurnal anisotropy for all HAE cases has shifted to later hours. Furthermore, for tri-diurnal anisotropy the phase shifts …


Exceptionaly Low Amplitude Anisotropic Wave Train Events In Cosmic Ray Intensity, Rajesh K. Mishra, Rekha Agarwal Mishra Jan 2004

Exceptionaly Low Amplitude Anisotropic Wave Train Events In Cosmic Ray Intensity, Rajesh K. Mishra, Rekha Agarwal Mishra

Turkish Journal of Physics

The unusually low amplitude anisotropic wave train events (LAEs) in cosmic ray intensity using the ground-based Deep River neutron monitor data has been studied during the period 1991--94. It has been observed that the phase of the diurnal anisotropy for majority of the LAE events remains in the corotational direction. However, for some of the LAE events the phase of the diurnal anisotropy shifts towards earlier hours. On the other hand, the amplitude of the semi-diurnal anisotropy remains statistically the same whereas, phase shift towards later hours; similar trend has also been found in case of tri-diurnal anisotropy. The interplanetary …


Comparative Study Of First Two Harmonics In Cosmic Ray Intensity For The Period 1964-95, Rekha Agarwal Mishra, Rajesh K. Mishra Jan 2004

Comparative Study Of First Two Harmonics In Cosmic Ray Intensity For The Period 1964-95, Rekha Agarwal Mishra, Rajesh K. Mishra

Turkish Journal of Physics

The Deep River neutron monitor data has been harmonically analyzed for the period 1964--95 covering three solar cycles 20, 21 and 22, looking for a long term trend of the diurnal and semi-diurnal anisotropies of cosmic ray intensity on geomagnetically 60 quiet days. The amplitude of both the harmonics remains statistically constant during 1964-70. The amplitudes of the first harmonic is found to be low during 1965, 1967, 1976-77, 1986-87, 1991, 1993 and 1995. The amplitude of diurnal anisotropy acquired exceptionally large values in 1985, whereas semi-diurnal anisotropy acquired large values in 1974-75 and in 1984, which coincided with epochs …
