Comparison of the model results and observations: SEA, based on the study in Paper I, shown in Fig. 2a (left) and the schematic generic behavior, based on Fig. 2b (right). Panel a: magnetic field, B (gray), and its fluctuations δB (green), normalized with respect to the pre-event values, b = B/B₀ and δb = δB/δB₀, multiplied by the free parameter k (written in the inset), based on SEA. Panel b: magnetic field, B, normalized with respect to the pre-event values, b = B/B₀, multiplied by the free parameter k (written in the inset), based on the schematic behavior. Panels c and d: solar-wind flow speed, V_r (dashed black line) and the inverted graph of the cosmic ray count rate, CR (blue line). Panels e and f: observed CR (blue line) compared to the model results (dashed gray line) based on the behavior of b; in panel e: model results for the δb option are presented as the dashed green line. The red rectangles mark the period of the rising solar wind speed.
