The kinetic equation describing cosmic-ray propagation in interplanetary space has been used to construct a consistent theory of cosmic-ray anisotropy including the second spherical harmonic of particle angular distribution. The amplitude and phase of semi-diurnal cosmic-ray variation have been calculated. Expressions describing the relationships of the semi-diurnal variation parameters to helio-latitude distribution of cosmic rays have been derived. The results obtained are compared with observational data.
