Abstract
This paper presents the count rate enhancement observed across Canada's Fixed Point Surveillance network during the solar event on 20 January 2005 and explores the feasibility and value of applying the Fixed Point Surveillance network's long-term and continuous observations for space weather monitoring. The count rate, recorded in the high-energy channel of RS250 sodium iodide detectors, reflects the detector's response to muonic and electromagnetic components of the cosmic ray shower. During the event peak time, simultaneous count rate increases have been observed across many Fixed Point Surveillance network stations at enhancements varying from 10% to 18%, 12- to 15-fold less than relative increases in neutron detector observations.
