Data on atmospheric albedo-particle fluxes (geomagnetic cutoff rigidities of 0.5 to 14 GV) are examined for the solar activity minima of 1964-1965 and 1975-1976 as well as for the maximum of 1968-1971. Agreement is demonstrated among charged-particle fluxes measured with the same equipment in the stratosphere, aboard sounding rockets, and on low-altitude satellites (200 to 600 km). It is shown that albedo-particle fluxes exhibit a pronounced latitudinal variation but do not appear to vary with solar activity cycle. Charged albedo particles and photons are found to exhibit a similar latitudinal variation, which indicates that the overwhelming majority of albedo particles are formed as a result of charged-pion, muon, and antimuon decays.
