Does Local Structure Within Shock-sheath and Magnetic Cloud Affect Cosmic Ray Decrease?

The sudden short duration decrease in cosmic ray flux is known as Forbush decrease which is mainly caused by interplanetary disturbances. Generally accepted view is that the first step of Forbush decrease is due to shock sheath and second step is due to Magnetic Cloud (MC) of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection (ICME). However, there are few questions which needs detail investigation. (i) Does the complete (or part of) ICME shock or MC contribute in cosmic ray decrease? (ii) Is there any internal structure associated with the ICMEs shock/MC which precisely contribute in decrease? To address these questions we have studied a total of 18 large ($u003e=8 %$) Forbush decrease events and associated ICMEs. Majority of events shows multi-steps Forbush decrease profile. This leads into re-classification of Forbush decrease events depending upon the number of steps observed in their respective profile. The present study clearly indicates that not only broad regions (shock-sheath and MC) contribute to Forbush decrease but also localized structures within shock-sheath and MC have very much significant importance in Forbush decrease profile.
