BALLOON-BORNE MEASUREMENTS OF SOLAR IONIZING RADIATION.

Abstract

The preliminary results of 22 balloon flights, performed in Northern Scandinavia, are presented in diagram form. No detailed discussion is given, however. The instruments flown were Geiger-Muller single counters and telescopes, scintillation counters and photometers. One balloon was flown simultanously with a Nike-Apache rocket including auroral particle and light measurements. The difficulties met using different balloon types are shortly described. (Author)
