A Catalog of Proton Events 1966-1976 Having Non-Classical Solar Radio Burst Spectra.
Abstract
A catalog of about 118 proton events, 1966-1976, not included in an earlier catalog of 81 events (AFGL TR-77-0081) for the same period is presented. These 118 events combined with the earlier 81 provide the basis for summarizing solar radio burst/high-energy proton correlation and prediction signature work. In the earlier effort, hereafter called Catalog I, the starting point was the identification of all solar radio bursts having the classical U-shape spectrum, and then establishing proton event association for the purpose of devising a reliable 'false-alarm' free predictor of the major proton events (equivalent PCA 2-2. 5dB). In the present effort, the starting point is the identification of all other proton events not included in Catalog I (misses by the U-shape spectrum criteria), and then searching for the establishing solar radio correlations and possible predictions of weaker proton events. There are very few real misses of principal proton events.
