Abstract
The global survey approach developed at the Institute of Cosmophysical Research and Aeronomy in 1960s allows us to use the worldwide network of neutron monitors as a common multidirectional device that enables us to obtain information on the distribution of cosmic rays (CRs) in interplanetary space for each measured moment in time. In analogy with this approach, this work presents a version of a new way of using measurement data from the worldwide network of muon telescope stations in Hobart, Kuwait, Nagoya, São Martinho, and Yakutsk. The reception characteristics of these stations are calculated with allowance for particle trajectories, the directional patterns of the devices, coupling coefficients, and the energy spectrum of hypothetical variations in CRs. At a later stage, the use and improvement of the approach will allow us to obtain new information about the dynamics of the CR distribution in distant regions of the heliosphere.
