J. ; Lockwood, J. A. ; Webber, W. R. Abstract Data provided by the IMP, Voyager, and Pioneer spacecraft for the cosmic-ray particles with E greater than 60 MeV show the existence of integral radial cosmic-ray-density gradients which were nearly constant from 1977 to 1982. In this paper, these measurements are explained using a model in which significant modulation occurs in the turbulent shocked plasma flow between the inner solar wind termination and the outer contact discontinuity separating the interstellar medium flow from the heliospheric plasma.
