Hourly Averaged Count Rate Data

NSSDC ID: SPHE-00688

Availability: At NSSDC, Ready for Offline Distribution (or Staging if Digital)

Time span: 1976-01-16 to 1980-03-08

Description

This data set contains hourly averaged fluxes of electrons, protons, and alpha particles in the MeV range. The tapes were written by a PDP 11/45 computer in ASCII. Each tape has a single file, and each record contains 10 hourly averages. The differential fluxes (particles/sq.m, s, sr, MeV) cover, in several bands, the energy range 0.3-2.0 MeV for electrons, 4.0-51 MeV for protons, and 2.0-48 MeV for alpha particles. Also provided are the integral fluxes of alphas above 48 MeV, and protons above 51 MeV. For some of the energy channels, the standard deviations of the averages are also provided. Each file is preceded by a header record, providing the start and stop times of the data in the file.
