Scientific paper

Latitudinal and field-aligned cosmic ray gradients have been measured separately by inter-normalization of the similar integral response (greater than approximately 30 MeV/nucleon) and high counting rates of approximately 60 counts per second of the anticoincidence detectors of the LECP experiment on Voyagers 1 and 2 and the CPME experiment on IMP 8. The unambiguous separation of latitudinal from field-aligned gradients in long-lived (greater than 10 days) cosmic ray structures is possible. The IMF connection is estimated by using the solar wind velocities measured by the PLS experiment on Voyager 1. Latitudinal gradients of approximately 2 to 5%/deg are found in short-lived (10 to 30 days) structures, while they are approximately 1 to 2%/deg in structures recurring over several solar rotations. Radial gradients, except in the onsets of Forbush decreases, are commonly approximately 2%/AU. Diffusion-convection theory is applied to these gradients.
