Long-Term Solar and Cosmic Radiation Data Bases

Abstract

The cosmic radiation that reaches the earth is inversely correlated with solar activity as represented by the sunspot number. Thus one of the longest solar-terrestrial data records (solar data) has been combined with one of the shortest data records (cosmic radiation) to learn more about the cosmic radiation that reaches the earth's environment. A brief summary of solar and cosmic radiation data records and several interesting scientific results that have been found with these data are presented. Solar activity, Solar-Terrestrial physics, Cosmic radiation, Sunspot numbers, Solar-terrestrial data.
