Neutron Monitor Off The Chart, page 1

This is a new site to me. Don't have a clue what it means. Sorry if this has been posted or in the wrong category.

I'm not to clued in on this but there seems to be a decent flare emitted from the sun

WoW. Is this a ground based detector? Can we get an english version of your second link? Also not sure of scale of graph.

it seems to be a malfunction since it can't be corroborated with other monitors.

A neutron monitor is a ground-based detector designed to measure the number of high-energy charged particles striking the Earth's atmosphere from outer space. For historical reasons the incoming particles are called "cosmic rays", but in fact they are particles, predominantly protons and Helium nuclei. Most of the time, a neutron monitor records galactic cosmic rays and their variation with the 11-year sunspot cycle and 22-year magnetic cycle. Occasionally the Sun emits cosmic rays of sufficient energy and intensity to raise radiation levels on Earth's surface to the degree that they are readily detected by neutron monitors. They are termed "Ground Level Enhancements" (GLE). The neutron monitor was invented by University of Chicago Professor John A. Simpson in 1948.[1] The "18-tube" NM64 monitor, which today is the international standard, is a large instrument weighing about 36 tons.

What about this one in Athens?

That shows the opposite of what my original link reads but as extreme. Any experts in the field here?

So then can you tell me what that huge 4 point drop means?

Opposite phase, curious.

I'm not expert. And the "spike" is gone from the Athens chart... Should of took a screen shot. I was going to take a screenshot...(derp)

The positive negative thing is a deviation from the norm. Each neutron strike is an event that is counted. The "average" number of counts is a "baseline". Below that number is less counts than the norm and above is more counts. There are menus at the left of the page on the Athens link. You can check sites all over the world. The "Kerg" track is the Moscow site and it reflects negative here as well. So... it would indicate a glitch in the instrument. Maybe a power issue or technician on break messin' with us? Dunno...

Waiting to hear from others or further developments. The Athens link doesn't let me bring search results, just the home page. Goto the menu on left and select "NMDB DataBase" and under that "data". Thats the link to online stations around the world. At the bottom of that menu under "scale" click on "counts". Thats counts per minute or (CPM). Thats easier for people to understand.

I hate the scientific community for always making things PHD speak... mad:

Anyway, thanks for keeping us informed about these kinds of events. You never know when something significant is going to begin. It could be our own sun acting up, or could even be a deep space event such as a supernova. Thanks for the link to the world wide web of detectors.

Here's a link to the University of Delaware. It appears of friends in Mockba have correct readings.
