    Observation Location for WHI:
    Observation Plans for WHI: Flux of secondary cosmic rays measured by particle detectors, reflects the "primary" cosmic ray flux incident on terrestrial atmosphere, which in turn is directly connected with dynamics of the heliosphere. Cosmic ray fluxes measured at minimal Solar Activity will comprise a benchmark for further physical analysis of solar modulation events (Ground Level Enhancements, Geomagnetic storms, Forbush decreases) expected during 24th solar cycle). Particle monitors located at Aragats Space Environmental Center (ASEC) at altitudes 1000, 2000 and 3200 m, (4025N, 4415E; Vertical cut-off rigidity in 2007: 7.1 GV) detect charged and neutral components of the secondary cosmic rays with different energy thresholds and various angles of incidence. ASEC monitors were equipped recently with new DAQ electronics and software significantly enlarging its nformation content.
