Abstract
The results of the study of the correlation between dynamic atmospheric phenomena and cosmic ray muon flux variations are presented. The results of the long-term experiment on continuous measurements of spatioangular variations of the muon flux using the URAGAN muon hodoscope are considered. It was shown that the correlation between weather phenomena and changes in the angular distribution of the muon flux on the Earth’s surface are observed in 80% of cases, both in the general counting rate and in the zenith-azimuthal distribution of the muon flux intensity.
