DISCOVERY OF RADIATION ANOMALIES ABOVE THE SOUTH ATLANTIC AT HEIGHTS OF 310- 340 km

· Planetary and Space Sci.
Anomalously high counting rates are observed for the total cosmic radiation at satellite altitudes, in Aug., 1960. The counting system accepts electrons over 8 Mev, protons over 60 Mev, and all other particles having comparable ionizing power. The counting rates at all latitudes are slightly higher than can be expected from cosmic radiation alone. In two regions above the South Atlantic Ocean and one region above northern Russia, however, anomalously high rates as high as 70 times the normal counting rate are recorded. These regions appear to be fairly stationary. (T.F.H.)
