Scientific paper

The results of ionization rate and flux density measurements of cosmic-ray charged particles with balloon-borne, high-pressure argon ionization chambers and counters are presented for flights from Cape Girardeau, Missouri, in September 1972 and from Fort Churchill, Manitoba, in July 1973. Ionization rate data from Health and Safety Laboratory equipment are compared with measurements made on the same flights with a standard argon chamber which has been used for many decades to obtain profiles of cosmic-ray ionization rates in the atmosphere. It is tentatively concluded from these comparisons and other evidence that the latter measurements overestimate the ionization rates by about 10%.
