Abstract

A new technique for the calculation of cosmic ray daily variations, given the radial number density gradient, is introduced. The technique is applied to selected gradients to account for the average, enhanced and asymmetrical diurnal variations and different Forbush decrease profiles. A small semidiurnal variation is predicted and it is concluded that the profiles of Forbush decreases are strongly dependent on the radial approach velocity of the shock.
