Abstract
We suggest a new approach to the normalisation of neutron monitor response to galactic cosmic rays. The reference normalisation count rate is the neut ron monitor response to the model unmodulated flux of galactic cosmic rays. A comparison of the actually recorded neutron monitor count rate with the calculated normalisation count rate can provide one with an observationally obtained true-of-date integral measure of the current level of solar modul ation of galactic cosmic rays.
