SOLAR-PRODUCED COSMIC RADIATION NEAR THE GEOMAGNETIC POLE ON MAY 4, 1960

Journal Article · · Journal of the Franklin Institute (U.S.)
A preliminary description was given of a cosmic ray intensity incresse at Thule, Greenland (geomagnetic latitude 88 deg N), on May 4, 1960. The intensity was above normal for about three hours; the peak intensity was 233 per cent of normal, and lasted about six minutes. Observations by the Thule station were correlated with observations of solar flares, radio noise, and with other cosmic ray monitoring stations. The cosmic radiation intensifications are found to correspond to the solar activity. (T.F.H.) .
