Simulation calculation of cosmic radiationdose at latitude 0

Cosmic radiation is a type of natural radiation that comes from outer space. Above sea level, the dose rate of cosmic radiation is 0.03 μSv and will increase rapidly with increase altitude, even reach 2.38 μSv at 10 km altitude. Cosmic radiation makes the flight crew receive higher radiation than the general public.Simulation of the calculation of cosmic radiation dose rates based on altitude at latitude 0° have been done. This simulation using radiation energy data at several points above sea level. This data is then interpolated to obtain continuous radiation energy data from a height of 0 to 16 km with an increase of 0.1 km. The radiation dose rate calculation is carried out using a simple dosimetry equation. The results have been compared with several studies that have been conducted where the deviation value is below to 40% for a height of 9 to 16 km with a difference in the dose rate of 10−7. While at an altitude below 9 km the deviation value is still quite high so a correction factor is needed.
