Abstract
The latitudinal gradients of galactic cosmic ray protons and anomalous cosmic ray (ACR) helium appear to be symmetrical about a plane displaced ∼10° south of the heliographic equator, similar to the displacement of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS). The radial gradient of ∼10 MeV/nuc ACR oxygen in the outer heliosphere is correlated with the amplitude of the tilt of the HCS. The form of the correlation depends on the magnetic polarity of the solar cycle. The observed radial gradients are the basis for an empirical model that reasonably describes the modulation of ∼2–3 GV ACR oxygen at low heliographic latitudes over a 25-year period.

We appreciate the website at the Wilcox Solar Observatory (http://quake.stanford.edu/~wso) from which the tilt angle data were extracted. We also obtained IMP 8 solar wind speed data from the website maintained by the Space Plasma Group of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/plasma/imp/www/imp.html). We thank W. R. Webber for providing the P10 oxygen data from 1978 onwards. This work was supported by NASA under contract NAS7-918 and grant NAGW-1919. | |||||||||
