Secondary cosmic rays between .3 MeV and 5 MeV were measured using a NaI gamma-ray spectrometer, an analog to digital converter, and a magnetic tape recorder carried on board a Sabreliner, during flights between Campinas-Brasilia-Manaus-Boa Vista at altitudes of 39,000 and 41,000 feet. Calibration measurements were made also at the ground level, near Brasilia, Manaus and Sao Jose dos Campos. Variations of the counting rate of the secondary cosmic-ray for several energy bandwidths versus latitude in the lower atmosphere were obtained for the first time in Brazil.
