Abstract
The high/low amplitude anisotropic wave-train events (HAE/LAE) in cosmic-ray intensity have been investigated during the period 1991-94, using the neutron monitor data for different latitudes. In all, 16 HAE and 13 LAE cases have been studied. An inter-comparison of the first three harmonics during these events has been made so as to understand the basic reason causing the occurrence of these types of events. It has been observed that the phase of diurnal anisotropy shifts towards earlier hours for HAEs; similarly, it shifts towards earlier hour as compared to 18-Hr direction for LAEs. For semi-diurnal anisotropy phase remains statistically the same for both HAE as well as for LAE. Further in case of tri-diurnal anisotropy phase is evenly distributed for both types of events. The interplanetary magnetic field and solar-wind plasma parameters during these events are also investigated. It has been also observed that HAE/LAEs are weakly dependent on solar-wind velocity.
