Abstract
A detailed analysis of the Deep River neutron monitor (NM) data for four different phases of solar activity cycle and for four groups of days chosen according to their different geomagnetic conditions is being carried out. It is found that the 60 quiet day (QD) in a year serve a better purpose for investigating the short/long term variation in cosmic ray (CR) intensity. Furthermore, data has been harmonically analysed for the period 1964–95 to investigate the effect of solar poloidal magnetic field (SPMF) orientation in daily variation (diurnal/semi-diurnal) of CR on geomagnetically QD. The phase of the diurnal and semi-diurnal anisotropy vectors on QD has shown a significant shift to early hours when the SPMF in the northern hemisphere (NH) is positive during the periods 1971–79 and 1992–95 as compared to that during the periods 1964–70 and 1981–90 when the SPMF in NH is negative, showing a periodic nature of daily variation in CR intensity with SPMF.
