Abstract
Detection of cosmic ray fluxes makes it possible to study dynamics of the interplanetary magnetic field and gain information about processes that occur both on the solar surface and in the entire Solar system. The main variations in the cosmic ray intensity are 27-day variations and Forbush effects. These variations are caused by complex spatial solar-plasma formations resulting from various processes on the solar surface and propagating in space with widely varying velocities. The data recorded by the PAMELA magnetic spectrometer on board the Resurs-DK1 satellite in 2006–2016 are used.
