Abstract

The temperature effect of the muon cosmic ray (CR) component is studied using the MUSTANG super telescope data (Greifswald, Germany) from 2007 throughout its period of operation. The original hourly data obtained with the telescope are adjusted for the temperature effect using a vertical atmospheric temperature profile at standard isobaric levels derived from the Global Forecast System (GFS) model. The model’s accuracy and applicability is evaluated using atmospheric sounding data collected over a number of years.
