Abstract Approximate equations which describe the behavior of cosmic rays in the interplanetary medium under suitable conditions are used to make comparisons between observations and theoretical predictions of radial gradients and radial anisotropies. In the high energy region there appear to be no inconsistencies between theory and observations. In the low energy region it is shown that theoretical predictions of the radial anisotropy expected from large radial gradients of the intensity are not inconsistent with observed radial anisotropies. However, in the latter case there are other inconsistencies, which suggest that some aspects of the observations or of the theory (or both) are unsatisfactory.
