1962 Satellite High Altitude Radiation Belt Database

Abstract

The AFRL data base for the Russian II and III events has been updated based on comments provided in AFRL-VS-PS-TR-2006-1093 by Dr. Bernard Roth. The data base has been reconverted from integral to differential form based on the original conversion program. The recorded count rates documented in the database are reproduced exactly. The differential data have been adjusted for the improved geometrical factors reported in Radiation Trapped in the Earth s Magnetic Field [We66] and a slight correction to the original loss cone calculation described below. The error estimates provided by Pfitzer in [Pf82] have been retained. A second set of data files have been produced by converting the two data sets back to integral form with a slightly simpler algorithm.
