Description
In this work a fully time-dependent cosmic ray model, based on the numerical solution of the Parker transport equation, is used to compute intensities of galactic cosmic rays in the heliosphere. Results are compared to recent observations of charged particles by the Ulysses spacecraft. We show how computed intensities along the Ulysses trajectory vary over a solar cycle and in particular show that it is possible to simulate cosmic ray modulation realistically during all the three fast latitude scan periods of the spacecraft.
