Dataset of the Muon Detector and Neutron Monitor at the "Polarstern"

label web interface	description of variables	SI unit	example
time	UTC time since 1.1.2010 00:00:00	seconds	165500000
ymdh	year-month-day-hour Example: 2019073114 means 2pm on 31.7.2019 Hint: With the variable ymdh a filter for a temporal condition can be defined under 'data reduction': e.g. 2019010100 <= ymdh <= 2019063023. The variable is not suitable for being used as an x or y variable.		2019073114
