Abstract
The temperature pressure curve from U. S. Navy Raob data was integrated by an empirical formula determined graphically. The resulting average "mass temperature" of various fractions of the atmosphere was correlated by a method of least squares with the vertical cosmic-ray intensity of three components; hard, medium, and soft, shielded by 30.5, 20.5, and 0.5 cm of lead, respectively. The temperature coefficient was found to be an increasing function of the fraction of the atmosphere for larger fractions.Keywords
