Interplanetary Monitoring Platform (IMP-8) Goddard Medium Energy (GME) Experiment Data

Data from the GME instrument span an energy range of 0.5-450 MeV Hydrogen, 2-450 MeV/nuc Helium, ions from Carbon through the Iron group from several to >100 MeV/nuc and relativistic electrons. The quality of the IMP 8 GME data in terms of particle and energy resolution, and sensitivity, for galactic cosmic ray Hydrogen (2-230 MeV) and Helium (2-450 MeV/nuc) remains comparable to that of any other cosmic ray experiment flown since 1971.

Some data are available through NSSDC CDAWeb and at the GMER site at the SPDF. Data at SPDF include: - Selected instrument rates at 1 hour resolution on (pre-generated ONLY) 10-day GIF plots - Selected instrument rates at 1 hour resolution. In 90-day files with 1 file for each rate (typical length 0.1 MByte) - H and He Fluxes, plus Electrons and Rates at 30 minute resolution - H, He and Ion Fluxes, plus Electrons and Rates at 6-hour resolution - Full telemetry resolution data Data at NSSDC CDAWeb consists of: - Hourly Averaged High Energy Protons (20- 40 MeV) Data - PHAS Data: Pulse Height Data from the LED & MED - MATR Data: Pulse Height Analysis Summary - Hourly-Averaged High Energy Protons 40-80 MeV Data - CNTS Data: Count Rates from the VLET, LED, & MED Detectors
