abstract = "Cosmic ray (CR) intensity shows significant diurnal variations of
day-to-day most probable amplitudes of ~0.5% (annual vector
averages <0.35%), often with wave trains of high amplitude
anisotropic events (HAEs) and low amplitude anisotropic events
(LAEs). Using the pressure-corrected data for the neutron monitor
at Calgary (51oN, 114oW, cut-off rigidity 1.09 GV) during Solar
cycle 23 (1996-2005), trends were removed by subtracting 24-hour
running means from the hourly values. In the residues, days were
searched when the maximum value of the diurnal amplitudes exceeded
1.0%. It was noticed that there were several HAE single events
(amplitude exceeding 1.0% only on one day, not on the previous or
succeeding day), double events (amplitudes exceeding 1.0% on two
successive days), triple events (three successive days), and so
on, with some having 10 or more days in succession. These events
occurred at all levels and phases of CR variations, namely when CR
daily values were almost constant for several days, or when daily
values decreased slowly or increased slowly (few percent in
several days, including 27-day variations) or just before the
start of a Forbush decrease (FD) or during the recovery of a FD
(During the main phase of sharp, strong FDs, the diurnal variation
is highly distorted and difficult to access, hence omitted from
the study). The occurrence of HAEs was found to be unrelated to
geomagnetic indices or any interplanetary near-Earth parameters
and is probably related to features in remote regions of the
heliosphere.",
