To study the cosmic ray modulation properly, it is important to remove atmospheric effects. In this study cosmic ray data from the KACST detector in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (Rc = 14.4 GV), for the period 2007-2009, were used to study the effect of some meteorological parameters on cosmic ray muons. The parameters of interest are the atmospheric pressure, temperature, and relative humidity. We have found that the atmospheric pressure and temperature are inversely correlated with the muon rate. On the other hand, the relative humidity is correlated with the number of cosmic ray muons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
