IMP 8 Goddard Medium Energy (GME) 30-min energetic particle rates and fluxes

ResourceID
spase://VSPO/NumericalData/IMP8/GME/PT30M

Description

This CDAWeb-accessible data set contains 30-minute,
spin-averaged count rates and fluxes, and their statistical uncertainties,
of energetic particles from the IMP8 GME experiment. Included are fluxes
of: protons in 30 energy bins from 0.88-1.15 to 327-485 MeV; alpha particles
in 21 energy bins from 1.14-1.36 to 63.3-81.0 MeV/n; and 0.3-18 MeV electrons.
Also included are count rates for each of 7 sensors and for 11 multi-sensor
coincidence modes. Proton and alpha particle fluxes, for every other energy bin, are given at the FTPBrowser and MSSP interfaces identified below.
