This report contains the data for the ground-level solar cosmic ray event
on 29 September 1989 obtained by the following three neutron monitors
operated by the Cosmic Ray Group of the University of Bern:

   i) The standard IGY neutron monitor with 18 BF3-counters at
      Jungfraujoch (geographic latitude: 46.55 N; geographic longitude
      7.98 E; effective vertical cutoff rigidity, Epoch 1980.0: 4.63
      GV; altitude 3550 m). This detector is an integral part of the
      worldwide network of neutron monitors, and data of this monitor
      have been published regularly since 1958 (Debrunner et al., 1987).

  ii) The IQSY-NM64 neutron monitor with 3 counter tubes at Jungfraujoch
      (altitude: 3475 m). This monitor is operating since 1986 (Debrunner
      et al., 1987; Schubnell, 1988).

 iii) The special neutron monitor (Btikofer, 1988) with 58 IGY-type
      counter tubes in Bern (geographic latitude: 46.95 N; geographic
      longitude: 7.45 E; altitude: 570 m).

The following data are given for the Jungfraujoch neutron monitors:

	Hourly data        28 September 1989     0000 - 2400 UT
                           29 September 1989     0000 - 1000 UT

	5-minute data      29 September 1989     1000 - 1100 UT

	1-minute data      29 September 1989     1100 - 1500 UT

	5-minute data      29 September 1989     1500 - 2400 UT

	Hourly data        30 September 1989     0000 - 2400 UT

For the Bern neutron monitor, the same data are given with the difference
that the small-time data include 5-minute values only. All data are
presented in the "Standard Format for Cosmic Ray Ground-Level Event Data"
as suggested by Shea et al., 1987. The following names were used to
identify the different monitors: JUNGFRAUJ for the IGY and JUNGFRAU2 for
the 3-NM64 neutron monitor at Jungfraujoch, BERN for the special neutron
monitor in Bern.
