GOES 15 to replace GOES 11 as Secondary SWPC
GOES Satellite for Protons, Electrons, and Magnetometer
in late February
January 10, 2011 -- GOES 15 will replace GOES 11 as the Secondary SWPC
GOES Satellite for Protons, Electrons, and Magnetometer in late February.
See details at http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/Data/goes.html
GOES ascii data files use the file naming convention 'Gs' for Secondary
GOES data. This means only the header lines within the ascii file changes.
===========================================================================
This directory contains recent space weather data in ascii list formats.
There are sub-directories by type of data or by spacecraft.
Via Anonymous FTP: ftp.swpc.noaa.gov cd to /pub/lists/
Via the Web: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ftpmenu/lists.html
Data lists are updated in near-real-time at the rate the data are
received at SWPC. Data is the data lists are on-line within 1 minute
of reception at SWPC. By convention, data are time tagged at the
beginning of the averaging or collection period. Therefore, data values
appear to be older than they actually are. For example, a 5-min data
value that is time tagged as 0000UT represents conditions from 0000UT
to 0005UT and is on-line by 0006UT.
The length of time each type of list is retained on-line is determined by a
mix of inputs such as the size of the files, historical conventions, customer
requests, and availability of the archived data from other sources. Customers
requests to extend retention time are welcome and accommodated if possible.

GOES 15 Designated Primary X-ray Satellite
October 28, 2010 -- GOES 15 replaced GOES 14 as the Primary SWPC GOES
X-ray Satellite. GOES 14 is being moved into storage. There is no
Secondary SWPC GOES X-ray satellite.
X-ray ascii data files use the file naming convention 'Gp' for GOES
Primary, this means only header lines changes.
=========================================================================
At 0000UT OCTOBER 28
GOES 15 Will Replace GOES 14 as Primary Satellite for XRS data
October 13, 2010: At 0000 UT October 28 GOES 15 will replace GOES 14
as the Primary SWPC GOES X-ray Satellite. GOES 14 is being moved into
storage. There is no Secondary SWPC GOES X-ray satellite.
Because the X-ray file naming convention uses 'Gp' for GOES Primary,
the only data file changes will be in header lines.
==========================================================================
GOES 13 Designated Primary Satellite for
Proton, Electron and Magnetometer Data
April 14, 2010 -- GOES 13 became the Primary SWPC GOES Satellite for the
Proton, Electron and Magnetometer instruments and GOES 11 was designated
the Secondary Satellite. GOES 12 is being decommissioned.
GOES 13 is drifting to the GOES West longitude. It will be at West 75 by
April 26, 2010.
GOES 13 HEPAD data channels P8 - P11 are temporarily unavailable until
calibration issues are resolved. /ftp/pub/lists/pchan or

==========================================================================
On April 14, 2010
GOES 13 will be designated Primary Satellite for
Proton, Electron and Magnetometer Data
April 5, 2010: On Wednesday, 14 April, the GOES 12 satellite will
be decommissioned. At that time, GOES 13 will become the Primary
SWPC GOES Satellite for the Proton, Electron, and Magnetometer
instruments. GOES 11 will become the Secondary Satellite.
==========================================================================
GOES 14 Primary Satellite for XRS data
No Secondary Satellite for X-rays or Electrons and Protons
December 2, 2009: On 01 December, the GOES 10 satellite was decommissioned.
GOES 14 became the SWPC Primary GOES X-ray Satellite. There is no Secondary
GOES for X-rays, Electrons or Protons.
The GOES 10 and GOES 14 XRS instruments have very different electronics and
therefore, there are some qualitative changes in the appearance of the
data. The main difference will be the level of noise in the data at the
lowest values. When the background levels are low (less than 2E-8 W/m2 or
A2.0), the GOES 10 data looked flat and the steps were very abrupt. At these
low flux levels, the GOES 14 data is quite noisy. As the x-ray flux
levels rise up above 2E-8, the noise will decrease and the plots will look
very similar to GOES 10.
==========================================================================
GOES 10 Decommissioning Dec 1, 2009
GOES 14 Becomes Primary Satellite for XRS data
No Secondary Satellite for X-rays or Electrons and Protons
November 17, 2009: On Tuesday, 01 December, the GOES 10 satellite will
be officially decommissioned. At that time, GOES 14 will replace GOES 10
as the Primary SWPC GOES X-ray Satellite.
GOES 10 Data Lists End Dec 1, 2009
The SWPC GOES 10 Data Lists will end Dec 1. The older GOES 10 Data Lists
will rotate out of the directories over the next 90 days.

Changes to the GOES XRS Data
The GOES 10 and GOES 14 XRS instruments have very different electronics and
therefore, there will be some qualitative changes in the appearance of the
data. The main difference will be the level of noise in the data at the
lowest values. When the background levels are low (less than 2E-8 W/m2 or
A2.0), the GOES 10 data looks flat and the steps are very abrupt. At these

Boulder-NOAA Magnetometer Data List
Discontinued April 15, 2009
February 17, 2009 -- On April 15 the USGS, an acknowledged center of
expertise for geomagnetism, will assume full responsibility for the Boulder
magnetometer and its data. SWPC will continue to be a user of that data,
but will no longer be the point of distribution of raw magnetometer
data. Boulder Magnetometer DATA LISTS will no longer be available via SWPC.
http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ftpmenu/lists/boumag.html
Or within the FTP site cd /pub/lists/boumag/
The SWPC Boulder magnetometer web page will continue unchanged.
http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/bou_12h.html
Carol Finn, USGS Geomagnetism Group Leader, (cafinn@usgs.gov) is the
point of contact for interested parties. Please direct any comments or
questions to her.

Boulder-NOAA Magnetometer
March 2004: Boulder-NOAA Magnetometer data has been available since mid-2003.
There are data list in this directory, and a real-time updating web page
at http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/bou_12h.html

ACE RTSW EPAM Data Channel Change
February 4, 2004: Real-time proton data from the EPAM LEMS30 instrument has
been replaced with similar proton data from the LEMS120 sensor. The new
proton channels cover the following energy ranges: 47-68 keV, 115-195 keV,
310-580 keV, and 1.06-1.9 MeV. Previous real-time electron (38-53, 175-315 keV)
and proton (0.761-1.22 MeV) data from the EPAM CA60 telescope remain
unchanged. Plots and Data Lists of 5-minute and 1-hour averaged data were
backfilled to January 29, 2004.
