| Abstract : | The solar activity was unusually high during the month of September, 2017, despite being the solar minimum period of 24th solar cycle. Intensive solar-terrestrial disturbances were caused by Solar Active Region AR2673. Two earth directed CMEs were ejected which resulted in interplanetary disturbances causing variations in the cosmic ray intensity that were picked up by different ground based detectors. The Lead-Free Gulmarg Neutron Monitor (LFGNM) operating on 24/7 basis at High altitude Research Laboratory, Gulmarg responded to these variations and recorded a Forbush decrease event during this period. We describe the LFGNM system along with the analysis and observations made during this intense solar activity period. |
