Data Products of the IMP-8 GME

Energetic particle data from the IMP-8 Goddard Medium Energy Experiment (GME) are becoming available in a variety of additional formats (both graphical and digital). The following page lists:

Major data products, from "browse" to "high resolution" to "full telemetry resolution"
1. Selected Instrument Rates (5 rates at 1 hour resolution)
2. H, He and Ion Differential Fluxes
  - 71 H and He fluxes, plus rates, at 30 minute resolution (definitions optimized for SEP studies)
  - 96 H, He, Ion fluxes, plus rates, at 6 hour resolution (definitions optimized for SEP studies)
  - [UNDER CONSTRUCTION] 26 H and He fluxes at daily resolution (definitions optimized for Quiet Time modulation and GCR studies)
3. Full-Telemetry-Resolution (Binary) GME Data
Notes on the contents and scientific usage of each data product
Available graphical access and notes
Available digital data access including format descriptions as appropriate and additional notes
Additional notes (including plans)

Users should ALWAYS look at the usage notes before making use of this data in any form, as well as the general instrument description writeup for the GME. Users are reminded that ALL instrument data of this nature should be treated with some caution, particularly higher-resolution products where detailed scanning/editing is often not possible for all data, and the usage notes represent a best effort (and probably continuously evolving) set of information on how to use this data.

Additional data products are possible and expected shortly (e.g. VLET fluxes, sectored rates) to more completely capture the GME data output.
