Scientific paper

The fluctuations in the counting rate of earth-based neutron monitors pointing toward the north and south geomagnetic poles are discussed. The power spectrum of the counting-rate difference (i.e., intensity facing north minus intensity facing south) has two important components: scintillations due to particle scattering, and intensity changes due to magnetic sector crossings. The discussion of Jokipii and Owens (1975, 1976) is applied to the north-south intensity difference, and good quantitative agreement with observations is shown.
