Scientific paper

We describe a new method for calculating geomagnetic cutoffs that incorporates obliquely incident primaries, and we use it to interpret a sea level neutron monitor latitude survey. Effects due to obliquely incident primaries are significant and may be responsible for anomalies observed in this and other latitude surveys. We define an ``apparent'' cutoff that takes these obliquely incident particles into account. Use of our apparent cutoff in a Dorman function fit to the 1994-1995 Bartol Research Institute-University of Tasmania latitude survey data results in a significant improvement over use of the more conventional effective vertical cutoff.
