Description:
Results are presented of a more extensive study of the relationship between the occurrence of cosmic-ray decreases and solar flares. In particular, it is considered whether it is possible to relate all large cosmic-ray decreases to flare-producing regions on the sun, and whether there is any compelling evidence relating the time of a large flare and the occurrence of a decrease to substantiate the long-standing hypothesis that at least some large cosmic-ray decreases are due to the effects of a single energetic flare. It is concluded that existing flare evidence significantly favors the hypothesis that all large cosmic-ray decreases can be accounted for by interplanetary structure associated with active flare-producing regions.
