COSMIC ON AIR: A CITIZEN SCIENCE APPROACH TO HUNTING SOLAR ERUPTIVE PHENOMENA AT FLIGHT ALTITUDES
Résumé
Cosmic On Air is a citizen science project which aims to increase coverage of measurements of cosmic radiation on board aircraft in the search of solar eruptive phenomena. A number of low-cost, compact, and connected radiation monitors are available to the public for purchase, and the data measured during flights are uploaded to an open data repository for analysis. Dosimetry of aircrew is routinely achieved using numerical approaches validated by measurements made on board aircraft. However, in cases of randomly occurring solar eruptive phenomena, which can produce a burst of sufficiently energetic Solar Particle Events to be classified as a Ground Level Event (GLE), the dose rates at flight altitudes can be significantly increased. Current dosimetry models for GLEs cannot be easily validated due to the very few on-board measurements during such phenomena
