Abstract :
Intense cosmic ray fluxes during Forbush decreases can be responsible for a number of radiation effects in electronics and sensor systems of spacecrafts and aircrafts. Monitoring, modeling and possible prediction, from the real-time database of the Athens Neutron Monitor Data Processing (ANMODAP) Center are being considered. A different kind of cosmic ray events that evolves during a Forbush decrease, as an additional intermediate enhancement and its impact on electronic systems, is also identified.
