The Cosmic Radiation Environment Monitor has flown regularly on a supersonic airliner over a period of eighteen months in order to explore the extent of single-event phenomena in the upper atomsphere. Quiet-time data now have good statistical precision and are compared with predictions of environment models. A number of increases and decreases were observed during the solar flare events of September and October 1989.
