In Halle since April 1, 1956, continuous recordings of the cosmic radiation have been made with four ionization chambers (shielding 140 g/cm/sup 2/ ). Two chambers remain above ground, a third is in an open pit, and the fourth is placed under 14 m water equivalent. The various fluctuation magnitudes are studied in dependence on the placement of the chambers. The barometer effect, the Forbush effect, the annual period, and the 27-day period decrease with the depth. The daily period is a percentage greater under the earth than on top of the ground. With the charaber in the open pit a sidereal time period could be detected. (tr-auth)
