  1. Example Solar Proton Event Data NASA JSC August 30, 2006

  2. Times of Occurrence of Large SPE’s Recent Era (1550-2000) McKracken et al. Modern Era (1956-2005)

  3. Projections of Cycles and Mean Occurrence Frequency of SPE

  4. Large Solar Proton Events during Solar Cycles 19-23 with F30 > 109 protons/cm2 (a) F30 for solar cycle 19-21: data taken from Shea and Smart. (b) F30 for solar cycle 22 and 23: calculated using corrected 5-min average proton flux of GOES measurements. Note 1: There are large differences in the estimate of fluence in November 1960 SPE. Data given by others are significantly smaller than this value (1.3 x 109 protons/cm2 by Freier and Webber). Note 2: F30 for the combined 3 major peaks occurred during 10/26-11/6/2003: 3.42 x 109 protons/cm2. Note 3: one day later on July 11, 1959 Note 4: in the same day on February 23, 1956
