Scientific paper

A new interpretation of solar proton flux structures detected at low altitudes is proposed along with a technique for inferring the anisotropy of the flux in the interplanetary medium. The mathematical models for the trajectory simulation show that tens to hundreds of MeV protons cannot distinguish between an open and closed tail magnetosheath and hence cannot be used as probes of interconnection between the interplanetary and tail field lines. The flux structure observed in the 90 to 350 MeV channel of Esro II during the February 25, 1969 pass at 11:05 UT is found to be induced by bi-directional solar-antisolar anisotropy of the interplanetary flux.
