Abstract

The radiation environment over the African continent, at aviation altitudes, remains mostly uncharacterized and unregulated. In this paper we present initial measurements made by a newly developed active dosimeter on-board long-haul flights between South Africa and Germany. Based on these initial tests, we believe that this low-cost and open-source dosimeter is suitable for continued operation over the Africa continent and can provide valuable long-term measurements to test dosimteric models and inform aviation policy.
非洲大陆航空高度的辐射环境:基于rpirena的剂量计的初步结果
非洲大陆上空的辐射环境,在航空高度上,基本上仍然是不典型和不受管制的。在本文中,我们介绍了一种新开发的有源剂量计在南非和德国之间的长途飞行中进行的初步测量。基于这些初步测试,我们认为这种低成本、开源的剂量计适合在非洲大陆继续运行,可以提供有价值的长期测量,以测试剂量模型并为航空政策提供信息。
