Extract

A comprehensive study of the anisotropy (i.e. streaming) of solar cosmic rays at energies ~10 MeV revealed two distinct types (McCracken). The first occurs during onset phase of the event, is large (> 20%), and is really the flow of cosmic rays along lines of force driven by a density gradient. The second describes the decay of the event, is small (10%), and indicates a flow radially away from the Sun.
