Scientific paper

We present a semiempirical method to study the production and propagation of atmospheric secondary protons with energy greater than 100 Mev, moving in the vertical direction. The derived production functions are fitted by the least-square method for the only previously published splash (SP) and return (RE) albedos observed data using the same instrument and measurement sites. The closed agreements between the measurement data and the calculations over a wide range of atmospheric depths lead to a possible extension of the method for other latitudes. The spectra of SP and RE intensities versus the geomagnetic cut-off reveal similar behavior as assumed earlier by the theory for those components in the Earth's magnetic field.
