Scientific paper

In order to estimate the N-S anisotropy latitude gradient, the time variation of the direction of the N-S anisotropy during the August 1972 cosmic-ray storms is measured using polar (Alert-McMurdo) and equatorial (Athens-Potchefstroom, S. Africa) neutron-monitor stations. A maximum value of (43 + or - 2)%/50 deg and a linear correlation between the measured polar and equatorial N-S anisotropies is obtained. The correlation between N-S anisotropy and: (1) the direction of the related shock wave, (2) the heliographic latitude of the related solar flare, (3) the direction of the interplanetary magnetic field, and (4) the Kp index, has been checked.
