Data Access
The GOES 15 Energetic Proton, Electron and Alpha Detectors (EPEAD) are essentially the same as the Energetic Particle Sensor (EPS) on GOES 8-12. There are two EPEADs on each satellite, one looking east and one looking west. For more information, please see Onsager et al. 1996, Operational uses of the GOES energetic particle detectors, in GOES 8 and Beyond, Proc. SPIE, Vol. 2812, edited by E. R. Washwell, pp. 281-290, Bellingham, WA. These data file contain mainly information on the proton fluxes from A detector. Data files contain long descriptive header.

Information about the magnetometers onboard GOES 15
Direct link to the GOES 15 Energetic Proton, Electron and Alpha Detectors data in CSV format as well as the energetic particle data from other GOES spacecraft. The data are sorted by year, month, spacecraft, and file type. The file names indicates the data type, spacecraft number, year, month, and resolution. For example, g15_epead_a16e_32s_20080301_20080301.csv, indicates GOES 15 magnetometer data at 32 s time resolution from 2008-03-01.
Time format in data files is year-month-day hour:minute:seconds.
