Analysis of meteorological effects of cosmic ray neutron component based on data from mid-latitude stations
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2024, Vol 10, Issue 4
Abstract
Precision neutron monitors providing continuous monitoring with a statistical accuracy of ~0.15 %/hr are effective for studying cosmic ray variations; therefore, contributions from other error sources should not exceed the contribution of this statistical error. Such possible sources primarily include changes in atmospheric pressure and humidity. The aim of the work is to estimate the barometric effect of the neutron component of cosmic rays for the low-latitude stations Tashkent and Alma-Ata (mountain), including periods of maximum solar activity. The technique developed on the basis of multifactor correlation analysis is applicable to processing data from any detectors of the worldwide network of neutron monitors. As a result, we have obtained annual average barometric coefficients of the neutron component at the stations Tashkent and Alma-Ata. The humidity effect was also estimated for the mid-latitude station Moscow. The study draws the conclusion that the approach considered can effectively solve the problem.

BEHAVIOR OF ELECTRON DENSITY IN THE IONOSPHERE OVER NORILSK DURING THE PERIOD OF DECLINING SOLAR ACTIVITY
We report the results of approximation of electron density Ne array obtained with a digisonde at the high-latitude station Norilsk (69.40° N, 88.10° E) during years of declining solar activity (2003–2006). The calculatio...
ALFVÉN WAVES IN THE MAGNETOSPHERE GENERATED BY SHOCK WAVE/PLASMAPAUSE INTERACTION
We study Alfvén waves generated in the magnetosphere during the passage of an interplanetary shock wave. After shock wave passage, the oscillations with typical Alfvén wave dispersion have been detected in spacecraft obs...
MANIFESTATION OF SOLAR WIND COROTATING INTERACTION REGIONS IN GCR INTENSITY VARIATIONS
The regions of interaction between solar wind streams of different speed, known as corotating interaction regions, form an almost constantly existing structure of the inner heliosphere. Using observational data on the ma...
