Cosmic ray measurements are provided with 1-minute and 1-hour time resolution from two mini-neutron monitors at Dome C. The dataset includes raw count rates, barometric pressure, voltage readings, indoor temperature, and pressure-corrected count rates. It was collected by SCIOPS and last updated in 2019.
Use Cases
- Analyze the correlation between raw_count_rate and barometric_pressure to correct for atmospheric effects.
- Model cosmic ray flux time series using pressure_corrected_count_rate at 1-min resolution for solar event detection.
- Compare data from the standard (DOMC) and lead-free (DOMCB) neutron monitors to study instrument response differences.
- Investigate the relationship between indoor_temperature or voltage_readings and detector stability over time.
Strengths
- Data recorded at high temporal resolution with both 1-minute and 1-hour intervals.
- Measurements taken from a prime location near the geomagnetic pole and at high altitude.
- Includes both raw measurements and a processed pressure_corrected_count_rate feature.
Limitations
- Temporal coverage and total row count are unknown.
- Data recency is limited, with the last update recorded at the end of 2019.
