ips-proton-alert -- Proton Alert
About ips-proton-alert	English (USA)
SWS Proton Alerts provide notification of the occurrence of a proton event. A proton event is issued when the 10Mev energy protons have a flux greater than 10 proton flux units. Proton flux measurments are obtained from the US Space Weather Prediction Centre. They are from the GOES family of satellites. This is an automatic product, the proton flux values are heavily smoothed before determining event begin and end times, the data smoothing will widen the actual begin and end times. The smoothing is done to prevent multiple begin/end alerts being issued as flux values fluctuate near event thresholds. US GOES satellite solar proton flux data is available at: US SWPC GOES Proton data Real time plots of this data is available at: US SWPC GOES Proton Plots To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the ips-proton-alert Archives.
