THE SOLAR DIURNAL VARIATION OF THE INTENSITY OF THE NUCLEONIC COMPONENT OF THE COSMIC RADIATION
The diurnal variation of the intensity of the nucleonic component of cosmic radiation from 1954 through 58 was analyzed. The results, together with previously reported neutron data, show that the direction of the anisotropy causing the diurnal variation has remained substantially constant at 60 to 70 deg east of the line joining the earth to the sun except during 1954 when the direction changed abruptly to become west of the earth-sun line. The amplitude of the diurnal wave shows considerable variation, closer in correlation with the planetary amplitude of magnetic activity A than with relative sunspot numbers. (auth)
