To investigate the variation of the cosmic-ray intensity in the earth's atmosphere, stratospheric balloon soundings are performed weekly at Campinas (Brazil). During the flight of May 20, 1988, short-period variations were detected. Through Fourier analysis, a period of about 2.5 min was identified with a confidence level of 99.6 percent between 23 g/sq cm and 173 g/sq cm. Apparently, these oscillations are not correlated either with the earth magnetic field or solar activity, suggesting their atmospheric origin; nevertheless, it is difficult to explain the production mechanisms of these disturbances.
