high-energy cosmic rays is a key observable in attempts to
understanding their origin. The dipole and quadrupole moments
are of special interest in revealing potential anisotropies.
An unambiguous measurement of these moments as well as
of the full set of spherical harmonic coefficients requires
full-sky coverage. This can be achieved by combining data from
observatories located in both the northern and southern
hemispheres. To this end, a joint analysis using data recorded
at the Pierre Auger Observatory and the Telescope Array above
10[sup]19 eV has been performed. Thanks to the full-sky
coverage, the measurement of the dipole moment reported in
this study does not rely on any assumption on the underlying
flux of cosmic rays. As well, the resolution on the quadrupole
and higher order moments is the best ever obtained. The
resulting multipolar expansion of the flux of cosmic rays
allows a series of anisotropy searches to be performed,
and in particular to report on the first angular power
spectrum of cosmic rays. This allows a comprehensive
description of the angular distribution of cosmic rays
above 10[sup]19 eV.
