How these values are measured

Each station counts ionizing radiation events with a Geiger tube and reports counts per minute (CPM). The dose rate shown here is the average of the station's latest readings multiplied by a conversion factor specific to its tube. Values from different tubes are comparable in µSv/h, not in CPM.
