             abstract = "The solar activity drives a large number of phenomena that occur 
                         in the near-earth interplanetary space and in the earth's 
                         magnetosphere, the so-called Space Weather. Among the most 
                         important phenomena of Space Weather we have the Geomagnetic 
                         Storms. In these phenomena, a great transfer of energy from the 
                         Sun and the Interplanetary Medium to the earth's magnetosphere 
                         takes place. It is well known that the galactic cosmic ray 
                         particles are also affected by the solar activity. One of the most 
                         important solar ejected structures, the Coronal Mass Ejection 
                         (CME), is the main cause of intense Geomagnetic Storms, and it is 
                         known to modulate cosmic ray intensity observed with ground 
                         detectors as they approach and pass the earth (Munakata et al., 
                         2000). Thus ground cosmic ray observations may be used for 
                         forecasting this kind of interplanetary structures. By analyzing 
                         the cosmic ray intensities measured in various directions in space 
                         by the International Muon Detector Network, together with the 
                         Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) data observed by the Advanced 
                         Composition Explorer Satellite (ACE), the Loss Cone precursor can 
                         be seen some 6 to 9 hours prior to an interplanetary disturbance 
                         reaching the Earth Magnetosphere and then causing a geomagnetic 
                         storm. As the direction of the IMF is an important parameter in 
                         this forecasting scheme, this work has the objective of 
                         determining the best average time interval of the interplanetary 
                         magnetic field to be used together with the high-energy cosmic ray 
                         observations. We use ACE IMF observations from 1998 to 2001.",
