GOES-R Series Level 1b SEISS Magnetospheric Particle Sensor High Energy (MPS-HI) Product in Daily Aggregations
GOES-R SEISS MPS-HI L1b Data in Daily Aggregations
The GOES-R Magnetospheric Electrons and Protons: Medium and High Energy (MPSH) Product
consists of fluxes of medium and high energy electrons and protons derived from in
situ measurements of electron and proton count rates. The Magnetospheric Particle
Sensor High (MPS-HI) makes these measurements. MPS-HI consists of ten solid state
telescopes, five for electrons and five for protons, that define a 170-degree fan-like
field-of-regard in the north-south plane. Differential and integral electron fluxes
are reported at eleven energy bands from each electron telescope. Ten of the energy
bands are evenly spaced logarithmically spanning from 50 keV to 4 MeV with differential
electron flux being reported. The eleventh energy band collects electrons with energies
greater than 2 MeV with electron integral flux being reported. In addition, differential
proton fluxes are reported at eleven energy bands from each proton telescope. The
eleven proton energy bands are evenly spaced logarithmically and range from 80 keV
to 12 MeV. In addition, the product contains ionizing radiation doses in two energy
deposition ranges, 50 keV to 1 MeV (low linear energy transfer, LOLET) and 1 MeV to
50 MeV (high linear energy transfer, HILET). The product also contains processing
and data quality metadata, satellite state and location information, and data required
for the generation of level 2 products. Measurement resolution is one second. NOAA's
National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) has created these daily files
by aggregating the official L1b files produced by the GOES-R Ground System. The granular
L1b files each span 30 seconds of observations.

Supplemental Information |
MPS-HI consists of ten solid state telescopes, five for electrons and five for protons.
Collectively, the five telescopes per species, each with a 30 degree conical field-of-
view, span a total angular range of 170 degrees in the Y-Z plane, arranged north-to-south
in a fan. The central telescope has an anti-earthward look-angle parallel to the minus
Z-axis (in spacecraft body-reference- frame coordinates). Neighboring telescope centers
are separated by 35 degrees. The north-to- south order of telescope numbers is (3,
1, 4, 2, 5) for electrons and (1, 4, 2, 5, 3) for protons when the spacecraft is upright.
The MPSH product's low linear energy transfer (LOLET) and high linear energy transfer
(HILET) radiation dose measurements are obtained from a pair of dosimeters with 250
mil (0.635 cm, Dosimeter 1) and 100 mil (0.254 cm, Dosimeter 2) aluminum shielding,
for a total of four dose products.

Purpose | The GOES-R Magnetospheric Electrons and Protons: Medium and High Energy (MPSH) Product consists of fluxes of medium and high energy electrons and protons derived from in situ measurements of electron and proton count rates. Differential and integral electron fluxes are reported at eleven energy bands in five angular look directions. The data will help users who wish to monitor solar energetic particle (SEP) events and research magnetospheric conditions. NESDIS produces GOES-R SEISS MPS-HI Level 1b products from GOES-R SEISS Level 0 source files. These output files span 30 seconds of one-second observations. NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) then takes the 30-second files and aggregates them to produce daily SEISS MPS-HI L1b products. These daily files are intended to be more convenient for users than the original 30-second files. |
