Abstract

Together with direct measurements of primary CR, either with space probes outside the geomagnetic field, or with balloons in the upper atmospheric layers, the technique of continuous measurements of the secondary components by ground based detectors gives unique information on the time variations of the CR distribution function outside the magnetosphere, as well as of the cut off rigidity planetary distribution. On the other hand, the time variations of the CR distribution function out of the magnetosphere are produced by two main causes: 1) the continuous modulation of the galactic CR flux by Heliosphere dynamic processes over various time scales (from hours to the solar cycle time span); and 2) the sporadic emission from the Sun of energetic particles accelerated in solar flare regions and reaching the Earth after propagation through the solar corona and interplanetary space. Therefore these variations contain important information on dynamic processes in the Heliosphere and acceleration phenomena in solar atmosphere; their study is an essential tool for determining the models appropriate to the different modulation processes.
