Onset of Solar Modulation in the Outer Heliosphere as Seen in Anomalous Cosmic Rays

Abstract

We examine intensities and gradients of anomalous cosmic rays determined from observations on the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft to study the rapid increase in solar modulation that begins near mid-2000. We suggest that these effects are due to the arrival in the region of the spacecraft of complex magnetic field topologies associated with the reversal of the Sun's magnetic field.
