GOES 8 Energetic Particle Monitor Data at 5 min Time Resolution

ResourceID
spase://NOAA/NumericalData/GOES/8/EPS/PT5M

Description

The energetic particle sensor (now called EP8 instead of EPS or EPM) data consists of electron, proton, and alpha particle data. The electrons consists of 3 energy flux channels with energies greater than 0.6 MeV. The protons consist of 7 energy channels from 0.6 to 500 MeV and the alpha particles consist of 6 energy channels from 4 to 500 MeV.
