Snow effect and practical questions of how to take it into account

In this work a method of exclusion of the snow cover effect from the neutron component data is described. It is particularly important for some polar and mountain cosmic ray stations. The results of manual data correction are compared with the results of automatic correction based on the developed algorithm. The described method has been approved for a number of CR stations with snow effect, for example Magadan, ESOI, MCRL and Jungfraujoch.
