Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The effect of high-speed solar wind streams from low-latitude coronal holes on cosmic ray intensity is studied. The database on Forbush effects created at IZMIRAN, with cosmic ray density and anisotropy calculated by the Global Survey Method (GSM) on the basis of Neutron Monitor network data has been used for the entire 2007. From the analysis of events in 2007 it was found that relationship of the Forbush effect magnitude to the solar wind speed is much weaker than to the magnitude of the interplanetary magnetic field. Best of all the FE magnitude correlates with a 'critical' rigidity of the CR determined by the magnetic shield created by interaction of the high speed streams from coronal holes with low speed solar wind.
