Conclusions

Anisotropy data have been combined for the half decade of energy above tex2html_wrap_inline137eV from southern hemisphere experiments. When taken with northern data at similar energies, these data confirm a unidirectional cosmic ray flow outwards in the direction of the galactic spiral arm. If this spiral arm flow is characteristic of the cosmic ray diffusion generally in the galaxy, the required power for the maintenance of galactic cosmic rays is below tex2html_wrap_inline139watts.
