Scientific paper

The paper is concerned with the anisotropy of 1.3 to 2.3 MeV protons measured with an electron/isotope spectrometer aboard the IMP 7 satellite during 317 six-hour periods, excluding periods when prompt solar particle events are observed. It is found that the diffusive streaming is predominantly toward the sun, indicating an essentially positive radial gradient in the particle density. The long-term average radial component of this anisotropy and its dependence on the solar wind speed are consistent with the anisotropy calculated with a steady-state propagation model including adiabatic energy loss.
