Effects Observed in the Muon Flux during Thunderstorms, According to Data from the URAGAN Muon Hodoscope

Abstract

Results from an analysis of URAGAN muon hodoscope data are used to identify effects observed in connection with thunderstorms recorded above and at considerable distances from the setup. These include quasiperiodic disturbances of the muon flux characteristics, reductions in the count rate, and changes in the muon flux anisotropy. An algorithm is created for selecting thunderstorm events that have a response in the muon data. It is found that abrupt drops in the muon count rate are not directly related to precipitation.
