The Cerenkov proton counters installed as part of the radiometer instrumentation aboard the Meteor satellites are described, and measurements made with these counters during 1981 to 1984 in the range of energies from 10 MeV to greater than 600 MeV are analyzed. It is shown that the intensity of cosmic rays with an energy exceeding 600 MeV varies with the 11-year solar cycle, and that these variations occur in antiphase with variations of the solar-activity index. A constant south-north asymmetry of galactic proton fluxes with energies exceeding 600 MeV is reported for the first time. It is concluded that the data obtained can be used to develop an experimental model for predicting radiation effects on spacecraft.
