Well, here’s some good news…
Radiation Clouds at Aviation Altitudes
A new study published in the peer-reviewed journal Space Weather reports the discovery of radiation “clouds” at aviation altitudes. When airplanes fly through these clouds, dose rates of cosmic radiation normally absorbed by air travelers can double or more.
Wunderbar.
The hypothesis is that radiation is getting trapped in geomagnetic “bottles” which sometime burst and rain rads down towards the surface.
You really gotta watch out for radiation clouds when flying around.
