abstract = {Neutron Monitors (NMs) are ground-based devices that
measure the secondary particle population, i.e., neutrons
produced by, e.g. Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs). Due to
theirfunctionality, they are integral counters whose flux is
proportional to the variation of the input spectrum.
However, the measured flux also depends on the geomagnetic
position andthe static pressure at the monitor’s location.
To better understand the instrument response, the
Christian-Albrechts-Universit¨at zu Kiel, DESY Zeuthen, and
the North-WestUniversity in Potchefstroom, South Africa,
agreed on regular monitoring of the GCR intensity as a
function of latitude, by installing a portable device aboard
the German researchvessel Polarstern in 2012. The vessel is
ideally suited for this research campaign because it covers
extensive geomagnetic latitudes at least once per year. In
this contribution, we givean update of our measurements over
a full 11-year solar cycle.},
