• Small latitude gradient of cosmic ray
• Recurrent cosmic ray modulation effects by CIR’s propagate to the polar regions above 80o
• Energetic articles accelerated by CIR shocks appear in the polar regions above 80o
Evidence for easy latitudinal transport of energetic particles in the heliosphere
Ulysses observations during 1994-1995 solar minimum:
Ulysses observations during 2000-2001 solar maximum:
• Zero latitude gradient of cosmic ray
• Solar energetic particles from same solar events are observed by spacecraft (Ulysses and IMP-8) in large latitude and longitude separations.

How do the solar energetic particles get to high latitudes?
1. Direct magnetic connection to particle sources (particle transport along field lines)
• Extended particle source in the corona
• Field lines connect to low latitude
2. Cross-field transport
• Anything is possible

Conclusion
• Easy particle transport across heliographic latitude
• Perpendicular diffusion flow was observed
•
• Implication to particle scattering theory
