Please note: The system works autonomously and needs minimum attention. Scientific co-use by Desy Zeuthen. Data transfer once per day. |
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. |

The system consitis of two sensor units with corresponding AD electronics, a GPS time and position synchronization and a Laptop for data analysis and storage. The system is described in Krüger et al. (2003, 2008, 2010, see: Documentation). |

|
Time synchronising is regulated via GPS. Geographical ship's position via GPS. |
Raw data (are stored on the laptop (/home/Muonic/Yearday_min.txt) and on the cards of each sensor unit. Data volume ca 1 MB (ca 3 files) per day. |
Data are archived in the institutes electronic archive and at DESY. |
