Large scale Monte Carlo simulations for interpretation of experimental cosmic ray data. CORSIKA is one such cosmic ray simulation package widely used among the cosmic ray community for studying the extensive air shower development in the Earth's atmosphere under various simulation world conditions. Subsequently, the simulated cosmic ray secondaries are processed with detector simulation tools for generating measurable physical quantities that can be compared with experiment. These procedures are important for improving the current understanding of cosmic ray modulation in the interplanetary space and solar storms. These studies have potential impact in space-weather studies that can directly benefit the society.
