Cosmic-ray data from a high pressure integrating ionization chamber, obtained at Ottawa, for 129 complete days during September 1950 to July 1951 are subjected to rigorous statistical analysis. The barometric coefficient is −0.19% per mm. of Hg for the period covered by this analysis. The results also indicate a physically significant 24-hr. wave in cosmic-ray intensity, with an amplitude of 0.12% of the total intensity, having its maximum at about 10.40 a.m. local mean time. The existence of the semidiurnal wave, however, is not physically significant.

A statistical analysis, based on three and one-half years of observational data, previously published by Lapointe and Rose (1962), produced a larger barometric coefficient for the nucleonic intensity in the standard neutron monitor at Sulphur Mountain (altitude 2283 meters) than at Ottawa (same geomagnetic latitude, sea level station).To explain this apparent anomaly, a simple theoretical model is presented which reproduces the results of this statistical analysis. The model treats the nucleonic component as consisting of two distinct cascades of nucleons, one "hard", characterized by a greater attenuation length and smaller pressure coefficient, and one "soft", characterized by a shorter attenuation length and larger pressure coefficient. The validity of the model is discussed.

The sidereal time variation is analyzed using data for the ion chambers at Cheltenham and Christchurch for the period 1938–58 and for the meson and neutron components during the IGY. All the results derived from these three kinds of data support the existence of a two-way sidereal anisotropy, suggested by Jacklyn, which has two maxima of the cosmic-ray intensity in the directions of 8 h and 20 h S.T. (sidereal time).

Ionizing radiation sources such as Solar Energetic Particles and Galactic Cosmic Radiation may cause unexpected errors in imaging and communication systems of satellites in the Space environment, as reported in the previous literature. In this study, the temporal variation of the speckle values on Sentinel 1 satellite images were compared with the cosmic ray intensity/count data, to analyze the effects which may occur in the electromagnetic wave signals or electronic system. Sentinel 1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images nearby to the cosmic ray stations and acquired between January 2015 and December 2019 were processed. The median values of the differences between speckle filtered and original image were calculated on Google Earth Engine Platform per month. The monthly median “noise” values were compared with the cosmic ray intensity/count data acquired from the stations. Eight selected stations’ data show that there are significant correlations between cosmic ray intensities and the speckle amounts. The Pearson correlation values vary between 0.62 and 0.78 for the relevant stations.
