The temperature effect in the muon flux of cosmic rays: Methods for considering and evaluating the parameters of earths atmosphere. Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Volume 77, Issue 5, May 2013, Pages 558-560

Simplified approaches to adjusting the muon flux for the temperature effect (e.g.; those of the effective level of muon generation and mass-averaged atmosphere temperature) are considered. The accuracy of adjustment is evaluated using data from the URAGAN muon hodoscope (Moscow, Russia). The difference between the adjusted data using temperature coefficients that are differential by altitude and the simplified methods does not exceed 1-1.5%. The considered methods can be used for a fast preliminary adjustment of experimental data, and for solving the inverse problem of evaluating atmospheric parameters according to the muon hodoscope data. © 2013 Allerton Press, Inc.
