a one-parameter description of how the solar wind reduces galactic cosmic-ray fluxes, expressed as a modulation potential.

In space physics, force-field approximation refers to a one-parameter description of how the solar wind reduces galactic cosmic-ray fluxes, expressed as a modulation potential. This meaning comes from Gleeson (1968) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
