Abstract
The temperature effect is studied for the muon detectors of the Yakutsk cosmic-ray spectrograph, which consists of an ionization chamber and ground-level and undergroundmuon counter telescope deployed at depths of 0, 7, 20, 40, and 60 mwe. This array makes it possible to study muon fluxes over a wide energy range (from 2 to 200 GeV). The dependence of the temperature effect for muon component on the depth and on the zenith angle (that is, on the energy of detected particles, as well as on the solar-activity cycle) is studied. A brief description of the muon detector database (mddb) created at IZMIRAN is given. This database includes observational data from muon detectors and data on the atmospheric pressure and vertical profiles of the atmospheric temperature at standard isobaric levels.
