Description

Lomnický štít Neutron Monitor of the Department of Space Physics, Institute of Experimental Physics, Košice, Slovakia is continually in operation from December 1981 when it replaced the older 4 NM 64 type. The percentages are normalized to 100 % level reached in September 1986 and represented 1,745.200 counts per hour. Data are obtained as sums of four sections including linear drift corrections of sections A and B. Data in digital form (archive, current data) are labeled by the time of the end of the interval of measurement.
