Summary
Two calibration neutron monitors were completed in September 2002. These instruments are designed to provide an intercalibration between the 40-odd neutron monitors around the world, so that rigidity spectra can be calculated from them. This paper describes the performance of such a calibration neutron monitor on three voyages from Seattle to McMurdo, Antarctica, and back. An accompanying paper discusses the instrumental temperature effect of the second calibrator.
