Proton Modulation Near Solar Minimum Periods in Consecutive Solar Cycles

Abstract

Observations or the Pioneer/Voyager missions during 1985/1986/1987, together with observations at Earth in 1976/1977 and 1987, are compared with predictions of a steady-state modulation model. The qualitative features of the modulation are well understood, but to get quantitative agreement with observations, drastic modifications have to be made to the Parker spiral magnetic field above the solar poles.
