cosmic rays and Forbush effect

[Michael McNaughton <mcnaught@LANL.GOV>]

Since the solar storm began on October 29, I am observing a *decrease of 

about 0.7 micro-rad/hour in the natural background. This corresponds to 

about 10% of the cosmic ray flux at the altitude of LANL. This decrease is 

consistent with the "Forbush effect". Question: is there an explanation for 

the Forbush effect?
