__5/19/08__ - Today I made a question on the cosmic ray detectors and the TEC. By looking at the google earth simulation of the total electron count from the period of late May 5th to late May6th shows that whatever region you observe, at night, the electron count drops to a dark blue or purple hue. Also, during the day, the highest electron count (red) is concentrated around the equator, most likely because of the sun.

As for whether or not we could predict the flux count of cosmic rays based on the TEC, I think so because muons and electrons are found when larger particles collide, so there would be a positive correlation between the muons found and the pattern of electrons.

You can find my researchable question here.
