NMDB database and global survey method
2021
The method of a global survey developed in the 1970s allows using a world-wide network of neutron monitor
stations as a single multidirectional device. Wherein, receiving characteristics of each device, which reflects
their geometries and geographical positions, are taken into account. Such an approach makes it possible to
define the first two angular moments of the distribution function of cosmic rays in the interplanetary space
at each hour of observation. With the creation in 2008/2009 and subsequent development of an international
database of neutron monitors NMDB, for the first time it appeared an opportunity to use the global survey
method in real-time mode. Such a situation creates a unique possibility to use the results not only for scienti-
fic researches but also for space weather forecasting. To use the data of the world-wide network of neutron
monitors it is necessary to carry preliminary preparations. Thereby, in the current work, the main attention is
attracted to a solution to some practical questions that arise when using the NMDB in real-time.
