Energetic Solar Protons and Electrons - Data from GOES Satellites

Entry ID: gov.noaa.ngdc.G00543

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: ABSTRACT: The Space Environment Monitor (SEM) instrument package on-board all GOES satellites has provided magnetometer, energetic particle, and soft X-ray data continuously since July 1974. Usually two GOES satellites operate at the same time in the Earth's equatorial plane. They travel in geosynchronous orbit (6.6 Earth radii) and are generally located at 75 and 135 degrees west longitude. This ...
