Scientific paper

From the hourly counting rate of the Deep River neutron monitor, the magnitude and phase of the diurnal anisotropy are calculated; from them, the magnitude and direction of cosmic-ray diffusion on a daily basis are inferred. These data are compared with observed interplanetary-magnetic-field data, and it is concluded that the diffusion is field-aligned (within observational uncertainties) on essentially all days which are separated from sector boundaries. Days on which diffusion does not appear field-aligned are characterized either by sector boundaries or by poor statistical accuracy.
