Scientific paper

Correlations between solar activity and atmospheric processes have been investigated for more than 30 years, and the reality of the strong correlations found has been well accepted. However, it remains problematic to establish mechanisms capable of coupling the physical manifestations of solar variability to the lower atmosphere. There has been to date a lack of long-term satellite measurements of particles of sufficient energy to penetrate the Earth's atmosphere. The NOAA Space Environment Laboratory has maintained energetic particle detectors on board the NOAA/TIROS and GOES series of satellites. These instruments monitor the flux of energetic protons to energies greater than about 800 MeV. Measurements of particles above 350 MeV began October 1978, and continue to date. The instruments are briefly described, along with the current program to reduce the data. The goal is to provide a data base that will help to assess the significance of variations of atmospheric and ionospheric properties due to energetic particle precipitation.
