The Solar Proton Event of 16 February 1984: Observations at Low Altitude Over the Earth's Polar Caps.

Abstract

This report briefly describes the solar proton intensities as a function of time over the Earth's Polar Caps as observed in the veto counters of the Space Sciences Laboratory x ray image during the event of 16 February 1984. This event is particularly interesting because the large anisotropy of the proton fluxes in the interplanetary medium caused substantial intensity variations in the fluxes at low altitudes over the Polar Caps.
