Abstract: | A review of selected experimental results relevant for the use of cosmic ray records in Space Weather research is presented.
Interplanetary perturbations, initiated in the solar atmosphere, affect galactic cosmic rays. In some cases their influence
on the cosmic ray intensity results in data signatures that can possibly be used to predict geomagnetic storm onsets. Case
studies illustrating the complexity of the cosmic ray effects and related geomagnetic activity precursors are discussed. It
is shown that some indices for cosmic ray activity are good tools for testing the reliability of cosmic ray characteristics
for Space Weather forecasts. A brief summary of the influence of cosmic rays on the ozone layer is also given. The use of
cosmic ray data for Space Weather purposes is still in its infant stage, but suggestions for both case and statistical studies
are made.
