USPRO Codes

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)
