The observed SI daily variation Similar to the SI daily variation of multi-TeV GCR except ~1/3 attenuation of amplitude
SI Steady increase of amplitude? No correlation with the solar activity seen by Matsushiro (3) SI (Abdo et al., 2009)
Small solar cycle variation (if any) only ~1/6 amplitude changing with the solar cycle ~1/3 attenuation by the solar modulation

Summary Additional SO anisotropy (+ CG anisotropy). Amplitude shows a positive correlation with the solar activity (max=+0.74) Significant time lag (tCR =+26 months) The average SI amplitude @0.6 TeV is ~1/3 of the amplitude in multi-TeV region. Steady increase of SI amplitude by Milagro is NOT caused by the decreasing solar activity. Only ~1/4 of the SI attenuation varies in a weak correlation with the solar activity cycle.
