Abstract

The subject of the problem which we consider in this Section is the possible application of general spectrographic method based on CR data of different CR components (e.g. neutron monitor, multi-directional muon telescopes on the ground and underground, detector of slow muons) for continuous registration of time variation of vertical distribution of air temperature up to 35–40 km, as well as possible using in meteorological service of great airports and space shot centers, in the work of the International Meteorological Service. In Chapter 15 we considered in detail the inverse problem to the theory of CR meteorological effects: how to determine continuously the vertical air temperature profile by using only CR data or by using CR data and ground temperature (which is easy to measure continuously). It was shown that for this purpose one can use standard NM (for excluding variations of extra-terrestrial origin) and multidirectional muon telescopes on the ground and underground, detector of slow muons (that have different densities of temperature coefficients). In Section 15.5 we described in detail the generalized spectrographic method, specially developed for solving this inverse problem, and gave formulas for a practically continuous passive location of vertical profile of air temperature up to 35–40 km on the basis of CR data (see the sketch of the method in Fig. 18.1.1). Let us note that now for excluding variations of extraterrestrial origin one can use CR data from other Observatories that are available in real time scale from the Internet. In our opinion, together with the traditional method of balloon sounding, this CR method of passive location of atmospheric conditions up to 35–40 km can be essentially useful in meteorological service of large airports that have frequent plane flights, and in meteorological service of space launch centers. It is not excluded that in the near future this method can be used widely also in the International Meteorological Service for giving more exact forecast of weather (in addition to the traditional methods).
