Spatial distributions of proton fluxes with proton energies exceeding 5 MeV and 90 MeV in the high-latitude magnetosphere are obtained for the period 1969-1978. The constants of proton increase and decrease in the auroral oval are found to depend on local time and the magnitude of solar-cosmic-ray (SCR) anisotropy. The decrease of SCR intensity in the auroral zone is determined by the particle energy spectrum. The time variation of proton fluxes in the auroral oval from the morning and evening sides of the magnetosphere as a function of the sign of the IMF coincides with the time variation of proton fluxes in the north or south polar cap. As the geomagnetic-disturbance level increases, a displacement of the lower-latitude boundary of auroral fluxes toward lower invariant latitudes is observed.
