Abstract

The abundance ratio of

{}^{3}{He}

and

{}^{4}{He}

has been measured at six different atmospheric depths, from 8 g/

{cm}^{2}

to 23 g/

{cm}^{2}

, employing the geomagnetic method. The ratio at the top of the atmosphere was obtained by fitting the observed six ratios. The observed ratio is consistent with the standard propagation model of cosmic rays.
