Investigate ionizing radiation in the troposphere using ground-based Neutron Monitor, ACE satellite and RBSP satellite data for aviation radiation forecasting

Abstract

The aviation altitude is continuously bombarded with high-energy ionizing cosmic radiation. The high-energy ionizing cosmic radiation is believed to be produced by the remnants of supernovae, black holes, neutron stars, and also from the more exotic objects from the Sun and stars. The passengers and aircraft crew are exposed to high-energy ionizing cosmic radiation during the flight. In this context, we will investigate the correlation between Neutron Monitor counts rates and solar wind speed and proton density from the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE. satellite, as well as Neutron Monitor count rates and radiation belt density from the Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP. satellites, during the coronal mass ejection (CME. events. If the correlation exists, then it may be possible to use Neutron Monitor data in the future for the forecast the timing and level of ionizing radiation in the troposphere. - Abstract as displayed in the - Abstract booklet.
