We have been observing multi-TeV cosmic rays by the Tibet I I I air shower array since November 1999. This continuous observation enables us a detailed analysis of the sidereal and solar daily variations of the galactic cosmic-ray intensity. The observed solar daily variation is compared with the expected variation that includes the Compton-Getting effect due to the revolution motion of the earth around the sun. The variation in the higher-energy event samples (log mean energy 6.7 TeV) is consistent with the expected anisotropy, while the variation in the lower-energy event samples (log mean energy 3.8 TeV) suggests an additional diurnal anisotropy superp osed, probably due to the solar modulation. This is the highest-precision measurement of the Compton-Getting anisotropy ever made.
