    Abstract Monitoring the ambient dose equivalent rate at aviation altitudes is an ambitious task, which requires sophisticated dosemeter systems and the possibility to carry out such measurements on board aircraft. A rather simple approach has been investigated in this study: soundings with weather balloons up to an altitude of 30 km. This paper summarises the measurements carried out between 2011 and 2016. The results indicate that annual measurements of the ambient dose equivalent rate at altitudes of around 20 km are a reliable tool to monitor the variation of the dose rate in the atmosphere owing to the solar activity.

    Abstract Monitoring the radiation field at aviation altitudes is achieved by the dosemeter system piDOS installed in a passenger aircraft. The basic detector is a 2 in. tissue-equivalent proportional counter (TEPC) mounted in a cabin-baggage-sized aluminium suitcase. The entire system was characterised in neutron and photon reference fields from which two calibration factors were determined according to the splitting of the measured dose deposition spectrum yd(y) into low-LET and high-LET regions. A total of 255 flights in the northern hemisphere was analysed. The dependencies of the ambient dose equivalent rates on altitude, latitude and solar activity have been determined. These new data extend the data base used in Germany for the validation of program codes to calculate the radiation exposure of air crew members.

    Abstract To investigate and monitor environmental radiation at ground level, Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) has installed several dosemeters and particle detectors at the new Ambient Radiation Dosimetry Site. The separation of the total ambient dose equivalent rate H*10(env) of environmental radiation into the different contributions is achieved by comparing the data of different detectors: the muon detector MUDOS, a modified neutron dosemeter, proportional counters and ionisation chambers. The response of the latter two dosemeter systems to cosmic radiation was determined at the Cosmic Radiation Dosimetry Site on a lake near PTB. Besides the increase of the ambient dose equivalent rate during rainfall, variations owing to air pressure, solar activity and temperature changes in the upper atmosphere are observed. Without rain and solar effects, smooth variations of the cosmic component at ground level of +/-6.9 nSv h(-1) should be treated as naturally occurring variations during an entire year.

    Title variant Verification of dose rate in aircraft taking into account the solar cycle, the dislocation of magnetic pole and solar particle events in order to quality control for radiation dose calculation of air crews

    Abstract Nach 103 StrlSchV ist die Strahlenexposition des fliegenden Personals zu ermitteln und zu ueberwachen. Dazu wird die Strahlenexposition in Flugzeugen mittels von in Deutschland zugelassenen Rechenprogrammen berechnet. Wesentliche Einflussparameter sind der 11-jaehrige Sonnenzyklus und das unregelmaessige Auftreten von solaren Ereignissen (SPE). Mittels zahlreicher Messfluege mit geeigneten Messinstrumenten soll die Genauigkeit der Rechenprogramme verifiziert und der Einfluss der SPE auf die Dosiswerte ermittelt werden. Die Verifikation von Rechenprogrammen zur Ermittlung der Strahlenexposition in Flugzeugen erfolgt zurzeit noch auf der Basis von Messdaten aus den Jahren 1997 bis 1999 und 2004. Fuer eine qualitaetsgesicherte Dosisermittlung sind Messungen der Ortsdosisleistung in Flughoehen ueber mindestens einen halben Sonnenzyklus erforderlich. Ziel des Vorhabens ist die Entwicklung einer Datenbasis fuer die Zulassungspruefung von Programmen zur Ermittlung der Dosis des fliegenden Personals nach 103 StrlSchV sowie zur Validierung berechneter Dosen (z. B. fuer epidemiologische Studien) und die Entwicklung eines Verfahrens zur Ermittlung der Ersatzdosis beim Auftreten eines solaren Ereignisses.

    Abstract Dosimetry at aviation altitudes requires instruments that are able to measure the dose contributions of all field components. Tissue-equivalent proportional counters (TEPCs) are well suited for this task. From the measured lineal energy distribution, the absorbed dose and the dose equivalent can be obtained. The ratio of both quantities is named the quality factor, which is a measure of the biological effectiveness of the radiation field. The results of this work show that the mean quality factors obtained by using a TEPC are independent of the altitude, at least at altitudes between flight level (FL) 300 and FL 400, but show a significant dependence on the vertical cutoff rigidity. From a numerical simulation of the radiation field inside an aircraft, the influence of the aircraft structure can be shown.

    Abstract Dosimetric measurements in the field of secondary cosmic radiation were extensively made during the last years. Since the majority of these measurements were performed on-board passenger aircraft at altitudes between 10 and 12 km, measurements at higher altitudes are desirable for the verification of the legal dose assessment procedures for aircrew. A simple solution is to use a high-altitude balloon that reaches altitudes as high as 30 km. In this work, it is shown that the dose rate profile up to 30 km can be measured with acceptable uncertainties using a Si-detector.

    Abstract The problem of finding a simple, generally applicable description of worldwide measured ambient dose equivalent rates at aviation altitudes between 8 and 12 km is difficult to solve due to the large variety of functional forms and parametrisations that are possible. We present an approach that uses Bayesian statistics and Monte Carlo methods to fit mathematical models to a large set of data and to compare the different models. About 2500 data points measured in the periods 1997-1999 and 2003-2006 were used. Since the data cover wide ranges of barometric altitude, vertical cut-off rigidity and phases in the solar cycle 23, we developed functions which depend on these three variables. Whereas the dependence on the vertical cut-off rigidity is described by an exponential, the dependences on barometric altitude and solar activity may be approximated by linear functions in the ranges under consideration. Therefore, a simple Taylor expansion was used to define different models and to investigate the relevance of the different expansion coefficients. With the method presented here, it is possible to obtain probability distributions for each expansion coefficient and thus to extract reliable uncertainties even for the dose rate evaluated. The resulting function agrees well with new measurements made at fixed geographic positions and during long haul flights covering a wide range of latitudes.
