Figure 2From: The spatial density gradient of galactic cosmic rays and its solar cycle variation observed with the Global Muon Detector Network Histograms of the NS anisotropy. Each panel displays the histograms of \(\xi _{z}^{\text {GEO}}\) on (a, b) hourly and (c, d, e) daily bases derived from the (a, c) Nagoya GG-component, (b, d) GMDN, and (e) NM (Thule-McMurdo) data in 2006 to 2013. Blue and red histograms in each panel represent distributions of \(\xi _{z}^{\text {GEO}}\) in toward and away IMF sectors, respectively, while blue and red vertical dashed lines represent averages of the blue and red histograms, respectively.Back to article page
