Forbush decrease confirmed in satellite data. Forbush decrease A Forbush decrease is a rapid decrease in the observed galactic cosmic ray intensity following a coronal mass ejection (CME). It occurs due to the magnetic field of the plasma solar wind sweeping some of the galactic cosmic rays away from Earth. The term "Forbush decrease" was named after the American physicist Scott E. Forbush, who studied cosmic rays in the 1930s and 1940s. The Forbush decrease is usually observable by particle detectors on Earth within a few days after the CME, and the decrease takes place over the course of a few hours.
