Interplanetary protons in Earth's orbit
Abstract
Analysis of long-term observations of the fluxes of interplanetary protons with energies from >1 to >100 MeV measured at a distance of 1 AU from the Sun has been carried out. The results of computations of the maximal, average and minimal values of total interplanetary proton fluences accumulated over the periods from 1 month to 10 years are presented. Possibilities of application of the obtained data for the characterization and prediction of space weather and climate are discussed.
