# The ambient dose equivalent rate calculated for a single particle type, or accumulated over all particle types.

`GET /parma/ambient_dose`

The ambient dose equivalent, H*(10), is an operational quantity that simulates the  human body by measuring the dose equivalent at a depth of 10 mm within a tissue  equivalent sphere of 300 mm diameter. It is a measurable quantity that is  used to calibrate area monitors (radiation detectors) for mixed radiation fields. 
Use this endpoint if you are comparing model predictions to measurements.
