Scientific paper

The real-time database for high resolution neutron monitor measurements (NMDB; www.nmdb.eu) is a scientific data repository which has been funded by the European Commission during 2008 and 2009. Currently NMDB is receiving data from 27 ground based cosmic ray stations, most of which are operated by European institutions. For global coverage, inclusion of neutron monitor data from US, Mexican, and South African stations is anticipated. Primary applications of the database include the daily determination of the galactic cosmic ray spectrum near Earth, and the evaluation of the time dependent near-Earth spectrum and anisotropy of the solar cosmic rays during Ground Level Enhancements (GLEs). Further applications based on the cosmic ray spectral data near Earth are e.g. the calculation of the ionization rates and of the radiation dose rates as a function of time on a global scale throughout the Earth's atmosphere. The paper gives an overview of the database and illustrates the power of its applications in view of the real-time observation and specification of the near-Earth Radiation Environment.
