Description

Computations of energy distributions of dose and dose equivalent have been performed for different components of cosmic rays at flying altitudes. In light of results obtained the dosimetry and equipment for in-flight measurements together with interpretation of measured data are discussed. Influence of different definitions of the quality factor on the dose equivalent estimation is also reported. (Author)
