The Alma-Ata Cosmic Ray Station operates the 18NM-64 neutron
supermonitor at an altitude of 3340 meters above sea level,
with a geomagnetic cutoff rigidity of 6.7 GeV. The station
provides real-time, minute-level measurements of cosmic ray
intensity, contributing to the
international NMDB network. These data support the study of
cosmic ray variations and space weather phenomena.
The provided dataset consists of daily tables,
where each table corresponds to a single observation day.
The data includes two columns:
- Obs_time: The time of observation at the detector (UTC).
- Count [ct/s]: The recorded cosmic ray intensity in
counts per second.
The data are collected and provided by the Institute of Ionosphere,
(https://ionos.kz/) and are also available through the Kazakhstan
Space Weather Portal (https://ssa.fai.kz/, registration required),
which additionally offers interactive visualizations and graphs.
