Abstract

The main idea of the International Cosmic Ray Service (ICRS) is to combine satellite and spaceprobe cosmic rays, magnetic and plasma data with groundbased cosmic ray data (exchanged in real time) for obtaining continuous information on the electromagnetic and radiation situation in the interplanetary space and Earth's magnetosphere: prediction of great geomagnetic storms, big increases of radiation hazards and other dangerous phenomena in space and on the Earth for people and technology. ICRS can predict not only geomagnetic storms and unfavorable days in the environment (especially important for old people and people with some diseases), but, in combination with astrophysical methods, can predict big increases of radiation hazards very dangerous for the Earth's civilization and big changes in the environment due to extremely powerful solar flares and local supernova explosions. We hope that, after some additional investigation of high energy cosmic-ray distribution function outside the heliosphere, it could be possible to solve by ICRS more complicated problems: to determine in combination with astrophysical methods the location and velocity of nearest dust-molecular galactic clouds with frozen-in magnetic fields and predict the expected time of the Sun capturing by some clouds with possible changes of Earth's global climate. The foundation of ICRS could bring a new possibility of development to the cosmic ray observatories, release scientists from a lot of routine work and increase the fundamental and applied research efficiency.
