3-day GOES Electron Flux plot

This electron flux plot contains the 5-minute averaged integral electron flux (electrons/cm2-s-sr) with energies greater than or equal to 0.6 MeV and greater than or equal to 2 MeV at GOES-12 (W75) and GOES-11 (W135). These data are invalid during a significant proton event because of sensor contamination at the GOES spacecraft. Enhanced fluxes of electrons for an extended period of time have been associated with deep dielectric charging anomalies.

Noon and midnight local time at the satellite are plotted as N and M.

August 26, 2008 -- Eclipse season for the GOES 11 and 12 spacecraft starts September 1 and will continue for about 40 days (October 10). Maximum daily outages will reach about 65 minutes in the middle of the eclipse season.
