data frame containing cosmic dose rates
for shallow depths (< 167 g cm^-2) obtained using the "AGE" program by
Rainer Gruen (cf. Gruen 2009). These data essentially reproduce the graph
shown in Fig. 1 of Prescott & Hutton (1988). \cr

\code{values.factor.Altitude}: \tab
data frame containing altitude factors
for adjusting geomagnetic field-change factors. Values were read from Fig. 1
in Prescott & Hutton (1994). \cr

data frame containing values for parameters F, J
and H (read from Fig. 2 in Prescott & Hutton 1994) used in the expression \cr

The following data were carefully read from figures in mentioned
sources and used for fitting procedures. The derived expressions are used in
the function \code{calc_CosmicDoseRate}.
