2.2.9 spase://NASA/NumericalData/IMP8/CRNC/Helium_PT1H IMP 8 Cosmic Ray Nuclear Composition (CRNC) hourly energetic alpha particle fluxes 2021-03-11T18:39:11Z This data set contains hourly, spin-averaged fluxes of alpha particles from the IMP8 Cosmic Ray Nuclear Composition experiment of U. Chicago and UNH. There are fluxes of alpha particles in 9 energy bins from 10.90-12.89 to 84.32-94.81 MeV/n. These fluxes were generated at GSFC/SPDF from count rates accessible from UNH.

Division of hourly rates by geometric factor and energy band widths yielded the hourly fluxes. spase://VEPO/NumericalData/IMP8/CRNC/Helium_PT1H spase://VSPO/NumericalData/IMP8/CRNC/Helium_PT1H spase://SMWG/Repository/NASA/GSFC/SPDF Online Open FTPS from SPDF (not with most browsers) ftps://spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/data/imp/imp8/particles_uchi/hourly/alphas/ ftp access to alpha particle-specific subdirectory holding annual ASCII files HTTPS from SPDF https://spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/data/imp/imp8/particles_uchi/hourly/alphas/ In CDF via HTTP from SPDF FTPBrowser https://omniweb.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/ftpbrowser/imp_chi_crnc_1h.html Subset, plot and list fluxes of protons, alpha particles and electron, and count rates of heavies, via FTPBrowser Multi-Source Spectral Plot https://omniweb.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/ftpbrowser/flux_spectr_m.html Spectral plots and power law fits for arbitrary durations Text 1 MB P1Y Acknowledge C.
