Here downward solar radiation is at its maximum. This is during summer time, when we would expect to have high levels of sunlight
iiiiiiii
Here the amount of reflected solar radiation is almost as high as the amount of downwards solar radiation. This is because the ground is covered in snow, which is a very reflective surface
Background radiation counts per minute (shown in blue) oscilate constantly, so 5 minute moving averages show the long term pattern more clearly.
During cold weather, average background radiation counts increase. The reasons for this are under investigation, but do not seem to be caused by faulty instrumentation
The cosmic ray detector used at the site has a very small surface area due to power and weight constraints, so cosmic ray counts usually range between 3 and 10 per day

Cosmic ray counts increase dramatically during cold weather. The reasons for this are under investigation, but do not seem to be caused by faulty instrumentation
