The reality of variations in the cosmic-ray neutron and hard components caused by the moon is demonstrated with the aid of the Chapman-Miller (1940) technique for deriving lunar variations from discrete values of observational data. The dependences of solar diurnal, lunar diurnal, and semidiurnal cosmic-ray variations on the geocentric distance of the moon are examined. The analysis indicates that in all but one case the diurnal and lunar diurnal variations in the neutron component are greater at perigee than at apogee. It is suggested that the lunar variations in the neutron component may result from displacements of geomagnetic lines of force at large heights due to the combined gravitational effect of the moon and the sun on the upper-atmospheric plasma.
