Neutron Count Measurements from Jang Bogo Station in Antarctica

Antarctic cosmic ray neutron count data was collected in 2017 from a neutron monitor at the Jang Bogo Station. The dataset captures variations in neutron flux at a high southern latitude. It was provided by the organization AMD_KOPRI.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal variation in neutron count to study solar modulation of galactic cosmic rays.
• Correlating neutron flux data with other space weather indices for event detection.
• Investigating the impact of geomagnetic conditions on cosmic ray intensity at high latitudes.

Strengths

• Data originates from a dedicated neutron monitor at a fixed Antarctic research station.
• Covers a specific year (2017) for focused temporal analysis.

Limitations

• The dataset size, row count, and specific temporal resolution are unknown.
• Limited to a single geographic location (Jang Bogo Station), restricting spatial analysis.
• Data is from 2017 and may not reflect current conditions.
