Aviation doses during Forbush decreases (FDs) were analyzed using neutron monitor data. A simplified method was developed to estimate cosmic ray dose variations experienced by aircrew.

Area of Science:

  • Space physics
  • Aviation dosimetry

Background:

  • Galactic cosmic ray (GCR) variations impact aviation doses.
  • Deep Forbush decreases (FDs) represent significant GCR events.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the impact of Forbush decreases on aviation doses.
  • To develop a simplified method for estimating dose variations during FDs.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an operational dose calculation model.
  • Analyzed Forbush decreases from 1981 to 2003 using neutron monitor data.

Main Results:

  • Quantified doses received on-board aircraft during FDs.
  • Derived a simplified method for estimating dose variations.

Conclusions:

  • Forbush decreases significantly affect aviation radiation doses.
  • The developed method aids in estimating GCR dose variations for aircrew.
