Description
Summary:Abstract: The neutron monitor at Amundsen-Scott station at South Pole was reactivated in February 2010 after a four-year, three month gap, and has since been equipped with an enhanced array of "bare" neutron detectors. We discuss capabilities of the new installation and present results of our efforts to normalize the new data to the old. In light of these new results, the long-term decline in the South Pole neutron rate is more puzzling than ever.
