Results are reported for measurements of the differential energy spectrum of splash-albedo protons at high geomagnetic latitude during three periods of the last solar cycle as well as at low latitude during one of those periods. The measurements were made with a balloon-borne solid-state detector telescope. Splash-albedo protons with energies between 4 and 315 MeV were observed in fluxes of approximately 81, 70, and 48 protons/sq m per sec per sr at high latitude and in fluxes of approximately 37 protons/sq m per sec per sr at low latitude. It is shown that the difference between the first and third high-latitude measurements was due to solar modulation of the cosmic-ray parent nuclei. The albedo spectrum is found to have a similar shape for both latitudes, and it is suggested that the difference in intensity can be explained by different local geomagnetic cutoffs.
