GOES-R Space Environment In Situ Suite (SEISS)

Consists of heavy ion differential fluxes derived from in situ measurements of heavy ion count rates.

Differential fluxes are produced for Hydrogen (H), Helium (He), Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen (CNO) mass group, Neon-Sulfur (Ne-S) mass group, Chlorine-Nickel (Cl-Ni) mass group, and Beryllium to Copper (Be-Cu) 26 elements group.

For each mass and element group, the fluxes are produced for five energy bands, and one angular zone. The 5 energy bands are evenly spaced logarithmically spanning from 10 to 200 MeV/nucleon for H and He. The energy range for ions heavier than He is species-dependent, corresponding approximately to the same stopping range as He. The one angular zone has a central, anti-earthward look-angle (-Z direction in spacecraft body-reference-frame coordinates), and a 60 degree field-of-view.

The product also contains processing and data quality metadata, satellite state and location information, and data required for the generation of level 2 products.

Consists of fluxes of relatively low energy electrons and ions derived from in situ measurements of electron and ion count rates.

Differential electron and ion fluxes are reported at fifteen energy bands in fourteen angular zones. The energy bands are evenly spaced logarithmically spanning from 30 eV to 30 keV. Collectively, the fourteen angular zones, each with a fifteen degree field-of-view, span a total angular range of 180 degrees in the Y-Z plane, with the central zones having an anti-earthward look-angle and are parallel to the minus Z-axis (in spacecraft body-reference-frame coordinates).

Although there are fourteen angular zones, there are only twelve unique look-angles with the two adjacent central angular zones measured twice. With respect to the earth, the zones are arranged from north to south with the central zones pointing anti-earthward.

The product also contains processing and data quality metadata, satellite state and location information, and data required for the generation of level 2 products.

Medium and High Energy Product consists of fluxes of medium and high energy electrons and protons derived from in situ measurements of electron and proton count rates.

Differential and integral electron fluxes are reported at eleven energy bands in five angular zones. Ten of the energy bands are evenly spaced logarithmically spanning from 50 keV to 4 MeV with differential electron flux being reported. The eleventh energy band collects electrons with energies greater than 2 MeV with electron integral flux being reported. In addition, differential proton fluxes are reported at eleven energy bands in the same five angular zones. The eleven proton energy bands are evenly spaced logarithmically and range from 80 keV to 12 MeV.

Collectively, the five angular zones, each with a 30 degree field-of-view, span a total angular range of 170 degrees in the Y-Z arranged north to south with the central zone having an anti-earthward look-angle and are parallel to the minus Z-axis (in spacecraft body-reference-frame coordinates). With respect to the earth, the zones are arranged from north to south with the central zone pointing anti-earthward.

In addition, the product contains ionizing radiation doses in two energy ranges, 50 keV to 1 MeV and 1 MeV to 10 MeV, obtained from a pair of Low and High Linear Energy Transfer dosimeters, respectively. The product also contains processing and data quality metadata, satellite state and location information, and data required for the generation of level 2 product.

Consists of fluxes of very high energy protons derived from in situ measurements of proton count rates.

Differential proton fluxes are reported at thirteen energy bands spanning from 1 to 500 MeV, and one integral proton flux is reported for particles > 500 MeV.

Differential alpha particle fluxes are reported at eleven calibrated energy bands spanning from 3.8 to 894 MeV.

One angular zone, having a central westward or eastward look-angle, is observed by the three telescopes on each of two sensor units, one facing west (-X) and another facing east (+X).

Each telescope provides for a subset of the reported energy bands. Telescope 1 and 2 have 60 degree fields-of-view, and telescope 3 has a 90 degree field-of-view. A yaw-flip reverses the direction observed by the two sensor units.

The product also contains processing and data quality metadata, satellite state and location information, and data required for the generation of level 2 products.
