Abstract
Various heliospheric parameters important for the behavior of cosmic rays, i.e., the solar wind velocity, heliospheric magnetic field, and heliospheric current sheet during epochs of the minimum of solar cycles 20–24 are discussed. Main features and regularities of the behavior of these parameters and their interrelations are considered.
