        abstract:  Energetic particle data from the CXD and BDD instrument on the GPS constellation are available to the space weather research community. The release of these data supports the National Space Weather Action Plan which was recently published by the Executive Office of the President's National Science and Technology Council (NSTC).
        purpose:  Access to these data to assess is being provided in response to cited goal of the NSTC to "Establish and Sustain a Baseline Observational Capability for Space-Weather Operations."
        credit:  Data access provided by the NOAA Solar and Terrestrial Physics Branch.
