Abstract
Using data from a worldwide network of neutron monitors, we have investigated the cosmicray (CR) energy spectra and anisotropy during the CR increases attributable to the solar events of June 11 and 15, 1991, by the spectrographic global survey method. By jointly analyzing ground-based and satellite measurements, we have determined the parameters of the CR rigidity spectrum reflecting the electromagnetic characteristics of the heliospheric fields in each hour of observations within the framework of the model of CR modulation by regular heliospheric electromagnetic fields. The CR spectra and relative CR intensity variations in the solar—ecliptic geocentric coordinate system are presented at specific times of these events.
