Data Products: MAGNETOSPHERIC ELECTRONS and PROTONS: MED and HIGH ENERGY

The GOES-R Space Environment In-Situ Suite (SEISS) includes magnetic energetic ion sensors for both low and high energy levels. One of the space weather alerts issued by NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) will depend upon this product in the GOES-R Series era. These electrons are very penetrating, and can cause electrical breakdown and discharges of materials deep inside of equipment (deep dielectric charging). They can also adversely affect high frequency radio transmissions and therefore GPS navigation.
