The GOES 15 High Energy Proton and Alpha Detector (HEPAD) provides flux measurements of high energy proton and alpha particles. 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 files contain mainly information on the alpha and proton particle counts and count rates for the HEPAD sensor. Data files contain long descriptive header.

Information about the magnetometers onboard GOES 15
Direct link to the GOES 15 High Energy Proton and Alpha Detector (HEPAD) 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_hepad_ap_32s_20100531_20100531.csv, indicates GOES 15 magnetometer data at 32 s time resolution from 2010-05-31.
Time format in data files is year-month-day hour:minute:seconds
