Troposphere neutron field and its anomalies near the Atlantic Ocean surface

The large-scale monitoring of a thermal neutron flux was carried out near the Earth surface in the European part of Russia and the Atlantic ocean (from the Baltic sea to the Drake Strait), near the North Pole, and during troposphere air-flights. The zones of increased emission of thermal neutrons (up to 300 n per s per sq. m) was observed over the Atlantic ocean. Neutron fluxes in the zones exceeded the background level by 20-30 times. The zones of neutron flux anomalies coincided with the localization of ocean front and zones of increased concentration of phytoplankton. The role of the kinetic thermal neutron capture in the formation of the anomalously high corpuscular radiation from biomass is discussed.
