Abstract：
Many experiments have reported observations on possible correlations between the muon flux and temperature variation in the atmosphere, and especially recent MACRO and AMANDA observed apparent seasonal variation in the absolute muon rate. We report the calculation of effective temperature from Payerne meteorological data, and the simulation of temperature effect on muon flux from its representative atmosphere samples, which gives temperature coefficient α T prediction in muon threshold energy range 30 GeV up to 2000 GeV and the order of possible influence on absolute muon flux.
