The Real-time Neutron Monitor Database (NMDB) is a
worldwide network of standardized neutron monitors, used
to record variations of the primary cosmic rays. The
measurements complement space-based cosmic ray
measurements.
Unlike data from satellite experiments, neutron monitor data
has never been available in high resolution from many
stations in real-time. The data is often only available from
the individual stations website, in varying formats and not
in real-time. To overcome this deficit, the European
Commission is supporting the Real-time Neutron Monitor
Database (NMDB) as an e-Infrastructures project in the
Seventh Framework Programme in the Capacities section.
Stations that do not have 1-minute resolution will be
supported by the development of an affordable standard
registration system that will submit the measurements to
the database via the internet in real-time. This resolves the
problem of different data formats and for the first time
allows to use real-time cosmic ray measurements for space
weather predictions.
Besides creating a database and developing applications
working with this data, a part of the project is dedicated to
create a public outreach website to inform about cosmic
rays and possible effects on humans, technological
systems and the environment.
