We generalize our previous discussion of the fluctuations in the cosmic ray intensity near earth by including non-field-aligned diffusion in the model. For frequencies of >5¿10-6 Hz the fluctuations are interplanetary scintillations caused by the field-aligned anisotropy, as was previously discussed. For lower frequencies the effects of non-field-aligned diffusion dominate and give a power spectral density proportional to f-2. Observations are presented which support the model.
