2、9-12 september 2008introductionthe data on galactic cosmic ray (cr) fluxes measured in the earths atmosphere at polar (northern and southern) and middle latitudes during the period of about 50 years are presented. these data show long-term modulation processes in the several 11-year solar activity c

3、ycles. minimum and maximum periods are discussed and comparison with the data obtained at the spacecraft of voyager 1 and voyager 2 is made. the analysis of solar activity in the previous solar cycles gives the proof that the 24th solar cycle will be very low. it is possible that we meet new grand s
