Abstract

Analysis of surface and underground detector data from Mawson and Hobart for the period 1982 to 1988 has revealed a number of episodes of enhanced diurnal variation lasting more than 5 days. A preliminary study of these enhancements shows that variations in the rigidity spectrum and in the upper limiting rigidity must be present to explain the phenomenon.
