This chapter focuses on cosmic-ray modulation by solar wind. The hydrodynamic outflow of gas from the Sun as observed by Biermann results in a reduction of the cosmic-ray intensity in the inner solar system during the years of solar activity. The Forbush-type decrease, which is a local geocentric phenomenon, is the result of disordering of the outer geomagnetic field by the outflowing gas from the Sun. It was recently shown that the hydrodynamic flow of gas outward in all directions from the Sun stretches out the magnetic lines of force of the solar magnetic fields, and leads to an essentially radial magnetic field in the inner solar system. The high velocity and low density of this outward streaming gas, the solar wind, leads to anisotropic thermal motions as a consequence of the anisotropic expansion.
