AbstractThe level of solar modulation at different times (related to the solar activity) is a central question of solar and galactic cosmic-ray physics. In the first paper of this series, we have established a correspondence between the uncertainties on ground-based detectors count rates and the parameter (modulation level in the force-field approximation) reconstructed from these count rates. In this second paper, we detail a procedure to obtain a reference time series from neutron monitor data. We show that we can have an unbiased and accurate reconstruction (). We also discuss the potential of Bonner spheres spectrometers and muon detectors to provide time series. Two by-products of this calculation are updated values for the cosmic-ray database and a web interface to retrieve and plot from the 50’s to today (http://lpsc.in2p3.fr/crdb).
