Περίληψη:
The ground based neutron monitor measurements play a key role in the
field of space physics, solar-terrestrial relations, and space weather
applications. The Athens cosmic ray group has developed several research
applications such as an optimized automated Ground Level Enhancement
Alert (GLE Alert Plus) and a web interface, providing data from multiple
Neutron Monitor stations (Multi-Station tool). These services are
actually available via the Space Weather Portal operated by the European
Space Agency (http://swe.ssa.esa.int). In addition, two simulation
tools, based on Geant4, have also been implemented. The first one is for
the simulation of the cosmic ray showers in the atmosphere (DYASTIMA)
and the second one is for the simulation of the 6NM-64 neutron monitor.
The contribution of the simulation tools to the calculations of the
radiation dose received by air crews and passengers within the Earth’s
atmosphere and to the neutron monitor study is presented as well.
Furthermore, the accurate calculation of the barometric coefficient and
the primary data processing by filtering algorithms, such as the well
known Median Editor and the developed by the Athens group ANN Algorithm
and Edge Editor which contribute to the provision of high quality
neutron monitor data are also discussed. Finally, a Space Weather
Forecasting Center which provides a three day geomagnetic activity
report on a daily basis has been set up and has been operating for the
last two years at the Athens Neutron Monitor Station.
