Description
Facilities of the Aragats Space Environment Center (ASEC) observe charged and neutral fluxes of secondary cosmic rays by the variety of particle detectors located on the slopes of Mt. Aragats at altitude 3200 m. During 2008-2018 by ASEC particle detectors were registered more than 500 so called Thunderstorm Ground Enhancements (TGEs), fluxes of electrons and gamma rays well the background level correlated with thunderstorms. For taking into account a possible influence of the barometric effect on the enhanced fluxes and for correcting TGE significance, the barometric coefficients for ASEC detectors were calculated. In this work, we present barometric coefficients, calculated for STAND1cm, STAND3cm and SEVAN detectors as well as a comparison of pressure corrected and uncorrected data for some of registered TGE events
