Abstract

From an extensive analysis of Deep River meson data for over 5 years, new temperature coefficients have been derived for correcting the meson data. It is shown that meson data corrected using new coefficients yield values of diurnal and semidiurnal anisotropy consistent with those obtained from neutron monitors. Using the temperature-corrected meson and neutron data, the upper cutoff rigidity beyond which the diurnal variation ceases is shown to vary with solar cycle showing a minimum of about 35 GV during the Quiet Solar Year of 1965, and a maximum of ≈ 125 GV during 1968-1969.
