Data Description:

Vsw:  Vsw is the daily-averaged magnitude of the solar--wind velocity in GSM coordintates. The data were obtained from OMNIWeb. This data is based on measurements from both the WIND and ACE satellites.

Je:  The daily averaged omnidirectional flux in the energy range of 2-6 MeV was measured by the SAMPEX satellite.

Description of Models:
FIR Model:  This is a linear finite-impulse-response filter parametrized by L shell [Vassiliadis et al., 2002]. Its output is the logarithm of the omnidirectional flux of 2-6 MeV electrons at all L shells in the range 1-10. This model has been trained on SAMPEX/PET electron flux measurements. Input to the model is the preceding solar wind velocity Vsw over 21 days. The time resolution is 1 day and the spatial (radial) resolution is DeltaL=0.1 R_E.

THRESH Model:  This model gives a prediction of a threshold crossing in Je based on recent solar-wind conditions. The model predicts the time when log(Je) will cross the threshold value shown with a horizontal dashed line. The days of the warning are shaded in gray.
