Scientific paper

During the Forbush decrease of February 14, 1978 a huge cosmic-ray decrease lasting only about 10 hours was observed by the neutron monitor stations. A detailed analysis, performed on data of numerous neutron monitors, shows that this event is a bidirectional anisotropy with a cosmic-ray density gradient rising from a plane tilted about 30 deg with respect to the earth equator; the interplanetary magnetic field should be perpendicular to that plane.
