Closed access Metadata (CSL-JSON)
DOI 10.1142/s0217751x05029770
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Using complex database of satellite malfunctions within the period of 1974–1994 and cosmic ray activity indices, calculated by means of high mountain Alma-Ata neutron monitor data it was shown that malfunction frequency increases during seven days after increase of cosmic ray activity indices. It is significant for high altitude satellite with altitude more than 1000 km.
