Solar proton events.

Example:

Definition of symbols:

• USPRO for satellite data (US) and PRO for protons.

• I I I I I = station indicator

• Year, Month day of transmission
• Y = last digit of year
• MM = month of year, 01 = January, 02 = February, etc
• . DD = UT day of month

• SS = satellite identifier
  • 06 = GOES-6
  • 07 = GOES-7
  • 08 = GOES-8
  • 09 = GOES-9
• EEE = energy range
  • 010 = >10 MeV
  • 100 = >100 MeV

• DD = UT day
• HHM = indicates hour and 10's of minutes of the appropriate begin time of the event

• DD = UT day
• HHM = indicates hour and 10's of minutes of the appropriate begin time of the event

• DD = UT day
• HHM = indicates hour and 10's of minutes of the appropriate end time of the event

• Maximum Flux:
• 9 = indicator
• abc = Proton flux in pfu's expressed as a.bc
  • PFU = 1 particle cm^-1s^-1sr^-1 = 10 pm^-1s^-1sr^-1
• P = power of ten to raise a.bc (always positive)

• Integrated flux (start thru end):
• 7 = indicator
• ab integrated proton fluence expressed as a.b (particles cm^-1 sr ^-1)
• PP = power of ten to raise a.b (always positive)
