BALLOON-BORNE MEASUREMENTS OF SOLAR IONIZING RADIATION.

Abstract

A total number of 127 balloon flights is described, performed in the period July 1962 to June 1965 in the northern auroral zone. Instruments used were GM-tube single counters and telescopes, ionization chambers and scintillation counters. The recorded data are presented in graphical form. Some scientific results are shortly discussed. The work has been performed as a cooperation program between Kiruna Geophysical Observatory, Kiruna, Sweden, Max-Planck-Institut fur Aeronamie, Lindau, Germany, and Laboratoire de Physique Cosmique, Meudon, France.
