Abstract

The interaction between cosmic rays and solar activity has been extensively investigated,particularly in relation to how solar phenomena modulate cosmic ray intensity inthe heliosphere. The strength of cosmic rays absorbed by the Earth’s hemisphere is notuniform across the Northern Hemisphere (NH) and Southern Hemisphere (SH). This studywill include an investigation of cosmic ray intensity as recorded at various latitudes andhemispheres of the Earth. We employed nine cosmic ray stations in each NH and SH,separated into three types of latitudes: low, middle, and high. The method of percentagechange in cosmic ray intensity was used, which was evaluated during the HalloweenStorm phenomenon on October 29-30, 2003. The results showed that cosmic ray intensitydecreased more at high latitudes than at low latitudes in both hemispheres (NH and SH).Furthermore, the reduction in cosmic ray intensity observed in the NH was approximately1% greater than that observed in the SH. This can be attributed to the Rc value’s dependenceon latitude, variations in geomagnetic activity under different Interplanetary MagneticField (IMF) circumstances, and interplanetary space parameters such as the tilt of theHeliospheric Current Sheet (HCS).
