Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
We propose to set up a European digital repository for cosmic ray datanby pooling existing data archives and by developing a real-time databasenwith the data of as many European neutron monitor stations as possible.nThe data will be available through internet. Cosmic rays provide andiagnostic tool to analyze processes in interplanetary space and at thenSun. Cosmic rays also directly affect the terrestrial environment andnserve as indicators of solar variability and non-anthropogenic climatenchanges on Earth. In the fifties of the last century a worldwide networknof standardized neutron monitors was developed to examine temporal andnspatial variations in our space environment. Despite decades ofntradition, neutron monitors remain the state-of-the-art instrumentationnfor measuring GeV cosmic rays that cannot be measured by spacenexperiments. Therefore the worldwide network, which presently consistsnof about 50 stations, ideally complements cosmic ray observations innspace. Since the beginning of the coordinated neutron monitornmeasurements the data have been collected in world data centers. A bignshortcoming of these data centers for today's demands is the fact thatnthe data are not available in real-time and only with a time resolutionnof one hour. Cosmic ray applications, e.g. space weather warningsn(geomagnetic storms, solar energetic particle events) need access tonneutron monitor measurements in real-time and with high time resolution.nReliable forecasts of geomagnetic storms are important in many technicalnareas (radio communication, electric power lines, etc.). Confident alertnprediction of solar energetic particle events is highly important fornmanned space missions and for airline crews and passengers. The proposalnunifies for the first time the cosmic ray community of the Europeannneutron monitor network in a coordinated effort to advance the use ofncosmic ray data in cutting-edge applications, as e.g. space weather.
