Sažetak
The Earth is continually bombarded by high-energy particles originated in outer space and from the sun. Cosmic radiation in the Earth’s atmosphere consists of a photon and directly ionizing component and a neutron component. Charged particles of cosmic radiation are deflected by the geomagnetic field, that is more expressed at the equator than near the poles. Photon radiations were measured with the Radiameter on the 26 main meteorological stations in all the parts of Croatia. Correlation between the photon dose rate and latitude was examined, as well as multiple correlation for photon dose, latitude and altitude ; the obtained positive correlation coefficients were statistically significant. Neutron component of the cosmic radiation was measured by the nuclear track etched detectors on the same stations during a year and its dependence on the altitude was found ; belonging equation of the linear regression was derived.
