Table 4.
The altitude corresponding to the Pfotzer Maximum based on BEXUS-14 data.
| Altitude of the Pfotzer maximum | |
|---|---|
| For particles coming predominantly from the zenith direction | 21.5 km ± 0.3 km |
| For particles coming predominantly from the horizontal directions | 22.4 km ± 0.3 km |
| The uncertainty of the altitude determination of the Pfotzer Maximum is inferred from the error of the Gaussian function fit to the measured data, the vertical component of the maximum ascent velocity of the balloon, and the integration time of the GM tubes. | |
