Summary

Sensorweb integration
urnvessel:polarstern:neutron_monitor
contenttypeSummary

Neutron monitors are ground-based devices to measure the variation of cosmic ray intensities. The instrument is a counter designed to detect nucleonic components of cascades initiated by primary cosmic particles in the atmosphere.
