Further development of the methods of temperature effect exclusion from the cosmic ray muon component using the model’s temperature data
To research the temperature effect of the muon cosmic ray component on the MuSTAnG super telescope data (Greifswald, Germany) for the whole period of its work (from 2007) .
To determine temperature coefficients for the MuSTAnG.
To estimate the model’s accuracy and applicability

Temperature effect of the muon CR component
From D.Rocco
From E.W.Grashorn
P. M. B l a c k e t in 1938 was the first foretold the temperature effect[P. M. B l a c k e t , Phys. Rev. 54, 973 (1938)]

Sounding data: http://weather.uwyo.edu/upperair/sounding.html
Soundings are carried out twice a day – 00UT and 12UT. To get hourly data interpolation was carried out.
Temperature data. GFS model and sounding
A query about temperature distribution is carried out at the beginning of every day, realizing the forecast for current day. To obtain hourly data the interpolation by the cubic spline function is carried out.
The GFS model’s output data are temperature at the 17 isobaric levels: observation level, 1000, 925, 850, 700, 500, 400, 300, 250, 200, 150, 100, 70, 50, 30, 20, 10 hPa for four times: 00, 06, 12 and 18 hours. The data are interpolated on the grid of 1°x1° resolution.

Densities of the temperature coefficients used for MuSTAnG are from:
L.I.Dorman and V.G.Yanke “To the theory of cosmic ray meteorological effects” Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics, 1971. Vol. 35, pp 2556-2570
Then the experimental temperature coefficient αE %/C was determined as the regression coefficient. effT

The values of Teff. and αE are calculated separately for the vertical (0 º) and for each of the three angles of the particles arrival (30 º, 39 º and 49 º).

From the obtained relations αT / αE (see table) we can conclude that the densities of the temperature coefficients WT, calculated before and well-suited for other ground-based telescopes (e.g., Nagoya), are somewhat different for the MuSTAnG detector.
Rather this is due to the peculiarities of the MuSTAnG (high latitude, special ceilings, geometry).
After the corresponding adjustment of the temperature coefficients densities WT, the theoretical temperature coefficients αT were recalculated again. The corrected values are given in Table. After adjusting theoretical and experimental temperature coefficients are minimally different.
MuSTAnGCalculation of the temperature effect of the muon component
For the control theoretical temperature coefficients αТ were calculated.
And then the corresponding experimental and theoretical temperature coefficients were compared.

The analysis have shown the stability of the MuSTAnG telescope since it started, maybe with the exception of the initial debugging period.
Corrected for temperature variations of MuSTAnG (vertical) are in good agreement with the neutron monitor variations of Rome. Even better agreement is observed for the vertical direction of the Nagoya telescope and the neutron monitor of Thailand.
For MuSTAnG the densities of the temperature coefficients were experimentally adjusted and the temperature coefficient was determined.
