Description
The atmospheric temperature and pressure effects on the measurements of the Solar Neutron Telescope (SNT) at Sierra Negra, Mexico, were studied. The SNT and a recently installed weather station are part of the Sierra Negra Cosmic Ray Observatory (SN-CRO), located at 4580 m a.s.l. We analyzed the data recorded by the SNT and the weather station during September and October, 2022 and applied a novel principal component analysis (PCA) method, developed in 2019 by Savic et al, to the SNT data. The PCA of the modeled temperature profile above SN-CRO allowed for a better correction than the traditional linear regression, that was also performed with the new weather station data.
