Description

Direct link to the GOES 7 SEM data in ASCII format as well as the energetic particle data from other GOES spacecraft. The data are sorted by year. The file names indicates the data type, spacecraft number, year, month, and resolution. For example, A0558606.FIT indicates the type of particle data (A) for spacecraft 5 (05) at 5 min time resolution (5) from June 1986 (8606).

Magnetic Field Vectors
Description

Magnetic field vector for GOES 7 in spacecraft coordinates in units of 0.1 nT. The values must be divided by a factor of 10 to nT. HP is parallel to the satellite spin axis, which is itself: perpendicular to the orbital plane of the spacecraft. HE lies parallel: to the satellite-earth center line and points earthward. HN is: perpendicular to both HP and HE, and points eastward for GOES 7.
