| Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite, R-Series (GOES-R) Space Environment
In-Situ Suite (SEISS) Level 2 Products |
 |
The Space Environment In-Situ Suite (SEISS) is comprised of four sensors that monitor
proton, electron, and heavy ion fluxes in the magnetosphere. These four sensors are
the Energetic Heavy Ion Sensor (EHIS), the Magnetospheric Particle Sensors - High
and Low (MPS-HI and MPS-LO), and the Solar and Galactic Proton Sensor (SGPS). There
are two SGPS units on each satellite, one looking westward and one looking eastward.
SEISS L2 data are used by NOAA?s Space Weather Prediction Center to drive the solar
radiation storm alerts, based on NOAA?s space weather scales and the >2 MeV electron
radiation belt alert, and to improve energetic particle forecasts. These SEISS Level
2 (L2) data include several different products: one and five-minute averages of fluxes
from MPS-HI, MPS-LO and SGPS; one and five-minute integral fluxes from SGPS; density
and temperature moments from MPS-HI and MPS-LO; solar particle event detection and
rate of rise; and linear energy transfer from EHIS heavy ions. Data are in netCDF-4
format. |
