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

Description
Direct link to the GOES 8 EPM data in ASCII format as well as the energetic particle data from other GOES spacecraft. The data are sorted by year, month, spacecraft. The file names indicates the spacecraft number, data type, and time range. For example, g08_eps_1m_19950801_19950131.csv indicates the GOES 8 spacecraft EPS data from 1995-08-01 to 1995-01-31.
