Abstract: Computer calculations have been made on the dimensional solution to the anisotropic diffusion convection equation for solar cosmic rays propagating in an uniform and unbounded interplanetary medium. This paper presents the results calculated by means of Jokipii's diffusion coefficients. Discussion is restricted to the influences of solar wind convection on the rise to maximum times and on the peak intensities of solar cosmic ray events with solar corotation effect taken into consideration. The model well explains the asymmetrical variations of the propagation charateristics of the events with solar longitudes of their parents flares relative to the interplanetary magnetic field lines passing through the earth, and the theoretical curves of the rise times fit satisfactorily the observations of solar events ranging from relativistic to about 30 MeV medium energies.
