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. |
