Comparison of cosmic-ray scattering rates in warm ionized medium predicted by YL08 and values obtained from CR anisotropy analysis from N. D. Maalal & M. Zhang (2025). The error bars were estimated by allowing the overall slope of the pitch-angle distribution of the scattering rate νs to vary by approximately 20%, while still consistent with the observed scatter of the data points.
