GOES Proton Measurements

 

Above Left: From top to bottom, >10 MeV, >100 MeV, >30 MeV, >50 MeV, >60 MeV fluxes showing threshold (red dashed line), threshold crossings (black dotted lines), estimated onset peak (black circle), and maximum flux (red open circle). Plot will be missing if no threshold was crossed. Note that onset peak algorithm is sometimes tricked (>30 MeV).

Above Right: All integral fluxes with start and end times for the different energy channels (dashed lines).

Left: Fluence spectrum for integral fluxes calculated by applying the start and stop times derived for each channel.

  • GOES corrected integral fluxes (reported in tables below): json
  • SEPEM RSDv2.0 background-subtracted (own method) and converted to integral fluxes: json
  • GOES uncorrected differential fluxes with Sandberg et al. 2014 and Bruno 2017 energy bins applied, background-subtracted, then converted to integral fluxes: json
