Summary

Abstract: Two identical calibration neutron monitors were completed in September 2002. They are designed to provide an intercalibration between the ¡Ö 50 neutron monitors around the world, so that rigidity spectra can be calculated from them. This paper discusses the final results of latitudinal surveys by one of them on five voyages from Seattle to McMurdo, Antarctica, and back. The other calibrator was used to investigate temperature and environmental sensitivity, which are also reported.
