Cosmic Rays flux observed by a Water Cherenkov Detector at Antarctic peninsula (for Space Weather)

Abstract

The dataset consists of three columns: the first column represents time (date) in the format YYYY-MM-DD UTC, the second column contains daily cosmic ray counting, and the third column corresponds to daily atmospheric pressure. The cosmic rays counting and atmospheric pressure are measured at a laboratory located at the Argentine Antarctic Marambio station (64°14'28"S - 56°37'31"O, 200 meters above sea level). This laboratory takes part of LAMP (Argentine Space Weather Laboratory, in spanish Laboratorio Argentino de Meteorología del esPacio), belonging to Instituto de Astronomía y Física del Espacio (IAFE) - UBA/CONICET, Departamento de Ciencias de la Atmósfera y los Océanos (DCAO) - FCEN/UBA, and Instituto Antártico Argentino (IAA) - DNA. The cosmic ray measurements were obtained using a Water Cherenkov Detector (WCD), which is a node of tha LAGO Collaboration. The atmospheric pressure data was recorded by a BMP180 sensor.
