【 摘 要 】

We present results of continuous monitoring of the cosmic-ray muon intensity at the ground and shallow underground level at the Belgrade cosmic-ray station. The cosmic-ray muon measurements have been performed since 2002, by means of plastic scintillation detectors. The scintillator counts are corrected for atmospheric pressure for the whole period of measurements and, as well, for vertical temperature profile for the period of the last six years. The results are compared with other correction methods available. One-hour time series of the cosmic-ray muon intensity at the ground level are checked for correlation with European neutron monitors, with emphasis on occasional extreme solar events, e.g. Forbush decreases.
