Abstract:

The TIROS/NOAA satellite series is designed to meet the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) need for operational, remote sensing products for numerical weather and space environment forecasts. The TIROS designation represents the experimental classification of a new instrument configuration while NOAA represents the operational classification. For January 1979 through May 1982, the National Geophysical Data Center archives HEPAD (High Energy Proton and Alpha Detector), MEPAD (Medium Energy) and TED (Total Energy) data from TIROS and NOAA satellites. The satellites are in sun-synchronous orbits at 850 kilometers altitude, an orbital period of 102 minutes and an inclination of 99 degrees. The orbital plane is tilted toward the sun in the northern hemisphere. Usually, two satellites are operational at all times. The data include the total magnetic field at 120 and 870 kilometers and the proton flux for 0 to 90 degrees in the following ranges: 30 KEV to 2.5 KEV; 2.5 MEV to greater than 80 MEV; greater than 30, 100, and 300 KEV. The Space Environment Monitor (SEM) flew onboard the NOAA POES series of satellites and continues providing data through the current day.
