Abstract:

A new cross-calibrated data set of energetic electron observations from the Medium Electron Sensor A MEA and High Energy Electron Fluxmeter HEEF instruments on the Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite CRRES has been completed. Processing of these data sets includes cleaning for proton contaminated MEA data, cleaning for MEAHEEF data with incomplete pitch angle data, spectral correction of MEA data, and adjustment of HEEF data at high flux levels. Description of the data set contents is provided. This work was performed in support of development of the AE9AP9SPM radiation environment specification model.
