Three-day Proton Forecast

Proton forecast thumbnail
Product Description:
Daily probabilities of solar proton events over the next one,
two, and three days. A solar proton event is defined by the >10
MeV proton flux exceeding 10 particles/(cm2 s sr) at
geostationary orbit.


Target Users:
Product users include industries that rely on HF
Communication, particularly at high latitudes, the satellite
industry and activities sensitive to energetic particle
radiation at high altitudes and in space.
Three-day Proton Event Forecast
Cadence: Daily
Data Source: Solar Images, GOES X-Ray and Proton measurements


Current Proton Alerts

Proton alerts thumbnail
Product Description:

Timeline of currently active and recent energetic proton alerts.
Alerts are issued when observed proton flux levels at geostationary
orbit exceed predetermined thresholds.


Target Users:
Product users include industries that rely on HF Communication, the satellite
industry and activities sensitive to energetic particle radiation at
high altitudes and in space.
Current Proton Alerts
Cadence: As Issued
