Scientific paper

The reasons for studying cosmic-ray transport theory are summarized and the fundamentally three-dimensional nature of the process is pointed out. It is shown that observations in the solar ecliptic plane cannot unambiguously test transport theories since the solutions to the transport equations depend critically on boundary conditions and variation of parameters such as diffusion tensor out of the ecliptic. Sample calculations (Fokker-Planck coefficient) are shown which illustrate the problem. It is concluded that out-of-the-ecliptic observations are essential to further test transport theory.
