Abstract

Between the launch of the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) in 1997 and the end of 1999, the intensities of galactic cosmic rays at 1 AU have dropped almost a factor of 2, and the anomalous cosmic rays have decreased by an even larger amount. The large collecting power of the Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer (CRIS) and the Solar Isotope Spectrometer (SIS) instruments on ACE allow us to investigate the changing modulation on short time scales and at different rigidities. Using anomalous cosmic ray (ACR) and galactic cosmic ray (OCR) intensities of He, C, O, Ne, Si, S, and Fe, and energies from ~ 6 MeV/nucleon to ~ 460 MeV/nucleon, we examine the differences between the short term and long term effects. We observe the expected correlation of these intensities with neutron monitor data, but see little correlation of OCR and ACR intensities with the locally measured magnetic field.
