For multi-wavelength investigations of solar activity it may be used the intensity of cosmic ray, registered by means of neutron monitors, because the variations of cosmic ray intensity are very sensitive for local and global solar activity changes. It is important also for space weather investigation. So, we use special indices characterized the level of cosmic ray activity and some peculiarities of the space weather (Belov et al. 1999). To apply the approach, already used for cosmic ray activity calculation, to the single detector data, we have to study daily run of the counting rate. During quiet days we have in the neutron monitor data sinuslike daily variation. The characteristics of the normal for the current period anisotropy and location of the station define it. Thus, on Alma-Ata station counting rate mainly increases on the first half of day and decreases on the second one. The density changing and the anomalous anisotropy behavior lead to distortion of daily run, and the greater is of cosmic ray disturbance, the more is distortion.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
