Obtained results 7 - the annual oscillations of TA are of solar origin! - the reason of such behavior is that coordinate systems which was used in the method and the mechanisms don’t match! P.A.

Conclusions 10 By the data of multidirectional muon telescope st. Nagoya for the period 1971-2015 using the method of receiving vectors the decomposition of the observed diurnal variations into the vector and tensor anisotropies of CR is made. It is shown that the vector anisotropy of CR experiences changes with the solar magnetic cycle and solar activity. The main mechanism of the generation of this anisotropy is convective-diffusive and drift motion of CR. It is shown that the components of tensor anisotropy( 𝑎 2 1 , 𝑏 2 1 , 𝑎 2 2 , 𝑏 2 2 ) experience stable annual and semiannual oscillation during the whole investigated time period, which are generated mainly by the CR screening mechanism. The mechanism of CR shear flow has a small contribution to this variations. Comparison of the model and experiment indicates that there is a shift of interplanetary magnetic field to the south of the solar equator on ≈6.3°.
