OBSERVING THE NEUTRON COMPONENT DURING THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AT A MOUNTAIN CR STATION

Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 3

Abstract

During three summer months in 2015, the Cosmic Ray (CR) station Irkutsk-3000, located at 3000 m above sea level, measured the CR neutron component intensity with the 6NM64 neutron monitor, as well as the atmospheric electric field strength and the level of electromagnetic interference during lightning discharges. It is shown that the level of electromagnetic interference, when registered during lightning discharges, depends considerably on the fixed level of signal discrimination. During observations, we observed no effects of thunderstorm discharges at the neutron monitor count rate at the CR station Irkutsk-3000.
