论文摘要
数十年来，全球中子监测网络已成功使用，以研究宇宙射线变化和能量太阳颗粒的通量。如今，它也用于太空天气，例如警报和评估辐射的暴露。在这里，我们介绍了全球中子监视器网络的当前状态。我们讨论了全球中子监测网络研究太阳能颗粒的能力，特别是在大型地面增强过程中。我们证明了一个例子，在地面增强的派生太阳能质子特性gle $ \＃$ 5，以及在典型的商业喷气飞行高度（超过海平面）的典型商用喷气飞行高度（约合12亿美元）的典型商用喷气飞行高度上。我们介绍了改善空间天气服务和全球中子监测网络应用程序的计划，特别是针对与太阳能颗粒有关的研究，即使用多个新显示器的现有网络扩展。我们讨论了优化的全球中子监测网络研究太阳能颗粒种群并提供可靠的空间天气服务的能力。
The global neutron monitor network has been successfully used over several decades to study cosmic ray variations and fluxes of energetic solar particles. Nowadays, it is used also for space weather purposes, e.g. alerts and assessment of the exposure to radiation. Here, we present the current status of the global neutron monitor network. We discuss the ability of the global neutron monitor network to study solar energetic particles, specifically during large ground level enhancements. We demonstrate as an example, the derived solar proton characteristics during ground level enhancements GLE $\#$5 and the resulting effective dose over the globe at a typical commercial jet flight altitude of 40 kft ($\approx$ 12 200m) above sea level. We present a plan for improvement of space weather services and applications of the global neutron monitor network, specifically for studies related to solar energetic particles, namely an extension of the existing network with several new monitors. We discuss the ability of the optimized global neutron monitor network to study various populations of solar energetic particles and to provide reliable space weather services.
