  1. Space Environment (Natural and Artificial) Probabilistic model of fluences and peak fluxes of solar energetic particles Part I Protons (Version 2004) by R.A. Nymmik INTERNATIONAL STANDARDIZATION ORGANIZATIONTECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 15391

  2. ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik The present Standard is intended for calculating the fluences and peak fluxes of solar energetic protons, which are expected to occur during a given time interval at any known or predicted solar activity level and to exceed their calculated sizes with a given probability. In combination with the ISO 15390 Standard – Model of Galactic Cosmic rays, this Standard provides a description of the radiation environment, induced by high-energy particle fluxes on the Earth’s orbit in interplanetary space and serves as the basis for describing the radiation environment during interplanetary missions, and for calculating particle fluxes, penetrating into near-Earth spacecraft and space station orbits.

  3. R.A.Nymmik ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 SEP flux model - version 2004 is the MSU model, corrected according to the results of study of the systematical errors and reliability of the different Solar Energetic protons flux data, measured on different spacecrafts by different instruments.

  4. R.A.Nymmik ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 Some examples of systematic errors in the measurement results A convenient technique of multiple analysis of SEP events fluxes and energy spectra is the logarithmic mean of a set of events:

  5. ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik An example of systematic errors in the measurement results The ratio of the sizes of the SEP events peak fluxes , measured on the IMP-8 and GOES-7 spacecraftsversus energy

  6. ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik An example of systematic errors in the measurement results The distribution of peak flux ratios for the SEP events,recorded by GOES-6 and GOES-7 measurement channels.

  7. ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik The channel 10 of CPME insrument on IMP-8 An example of systematic errors in the measurement results

  8. R.A.Nymmik ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 An example of systematic errors in the measurement results The distribution functions for the SEP events which occurred during 1986-2002 according to IMP-8 and GOES-7&8 spacecrafts measurements of E30 and E300 MeV proton fluxes and their approximations

  9. R.A.Nymmik ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 Reliability of the different measurement data • . 13 GLE events of 22 cycle Coincide: 1.GOES-7 (uncorrected) 2.METEOR 3.Neutron monitors Differ: 1.IMP-8 2. GOES-7 (corrected)

  10. R.A.Nymmik ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 Main errors of the • JPL-91 (Feynman et al.) and • ESP (Xapsos et al.) models 1. Neglecting the SEP fluxes in the “Quiet” Sun period (W<40) 2. Assumption that SEP event frequency and flux sizes are the same for the whole “Active” Sun (W>40)period

  11. ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik Neglecting the SEP fluxes in the “Quiet” Sun period (W<40) The proton fluence for SEP events (circles) and GCR (asterisks) during the last SA minimum, covering the 4-year period from Dec. 1993 to Nov. 1997. The energy spectra are differential.

  12. ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik Assumption that SEP event frequency and flux sizes are the same for the whole “Active” Sun (W>40)period The logarithmicaly averaged annual proton fluence energy spectra measured by GOES (for years with solar activity W>100 and 40<W<100). JPL-91 model interprets these fluences as detected with different probability (from 0.1 o 0.7), instead of as caused by different SA!

  13. ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik Another methodological shortcomings of the JPL-91 and ESP models are: • the nonphysical (“engineering” or “commercial”) definition of the “SEP event”, • use of partially unreliable databases • the non-optimal methods for • analysing SEP – SA connection, • 4. the limited technique of the separate distribution functions for different energy particle fluxes and fluences, • 5. the irrelevant form of distribution function used in JPL-91 model.

  14. ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik The basic physical regularities of MSU SEP fluxes probabilistic model established 1. The SEP event frequency is proportional to solar activity (SA) 2. The SEP event distribution function is power law with a turn-off at high fluxes (fluences) 3. The SEP event distribution function is invariant relative to SA 4. The SEP energy spectrum at E>30 MeV is power law of the particle momentum per nucleon (rigidity for protons) 5. Some aditional regularities of the SEP particle energy spectra parameters.

  15. ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik The dependence of the SEP event occurrence frequency on the solar activity level The event frequency is proportional to the smoothed sunspot number on the day of the event generation.Dashed line is the dependence, used in JPL-91 model.

  16. ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik Distribution functions of the SEP events for E30 proton fluences: • circles – the experimental data, • and approximations used in: • MSU(solid), • JPL-91 (dashed) and • ESP (pointed) models.

  17. ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik Distribution functions for SEP events at SA periods of W<80 and W>80. Left: the unnormalized functions. Right: the functions, normalized to sum of Wolf numbers in the measurement period

  18. ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik The integral proton peak fluxes of the 21 May 1990 SEP event. The markers denote: METEOR data (circles), GOES data (squares), I MP-8 (black squares), balloon data (triangles), and neutron monitor data (black circles). The energy spectra are shown as power-law functions of momentum (rigidity) (curve 1) and energy (curve 2), rigidity exponent (curve 3).

  19. ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik The dependence of the spectral indexes on the SEP event size Version 3 based on the mixed data of IMP, GOES, Meteor spacecrafts. Version 2004 based on the GOES spacecrafts most reliable (uncorrected) data only

  20. ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik The distribution functions of MSU modelprevious and 2004 versions

  21. ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik Model output data requirements The model output data should satisfy the only basic requirement: – they should adequately describe the experimental data on the SEP particle fluxes (and not contradict them), corresponding to a space mission with any duration at any level of solar activity

  22. ISO WG4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik Solar proton fluences 1994-1997 • MSU ModelJPL-91 and ESP models SEP particles are neglected

  23. ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik Solar proton peak fluxes 1994-1997 MSU ModelJPL-91 and ESP models SEP particles are neglected

  24. ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik Annual solar proton fluence spectra for years with 100<W<150 MSU ModelJPL-91 model

  25. ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik 22 and 23 SA cycle data and model outputs MSU ModelJPL-91 model

  26. ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik 22 and 23 SA cycle data and model outputs MSU modelThe King, JPL-91 and JPL-91 improved in SPENVIS

  27. ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik Solar proton annual peak fluxes for years with SA 100<W<150 Experimental data for years:1989, 2000 and 2003are demonstrated. MSU model outputs are valid from 4 to 10000 MeV There are published data in the ESP model for 10 MeV only

  28. ISO WG 4, Moscow 2004 R.A.Nymmik • As it is seen from above, the MSU SEP flux model (proton fluences and peak flux) reliably describes the experimental data for:any solar activity conditions and • any space mission duration • for proton energies ≥4 MeV(high energies are not limited). • In our opinion • such efficiency of the semi-empirical model is achieved primarily due to the account forfundamental regularities inherent to solar energetic particle events and fluxes and cannot be achieved by the empirical methodology,used in the development of JPL-91 and ESP models.
