| Abstract: | This paper describes a method, which makes it possible to eliminate the effect of snow cover from the neutron component of
secondary cosmic radiation. For many circumpolar, high-latitude, and mountain stations, where cosmic rays are continuously
registered, it is exclusively important to take the presence of snow into consideration. Comparisons are made for manual and
automated measurements, which are corrected for the snow effect based on the developed algorithm. The described method was
tested for a number of cosmic ray stations where considerable snow masses are accumulated during the winter period near or
above a detector: Magadan, Mount Hermon, Jungfraujoch, and Nain. |
