    Numerical Data Product: Pioneer 10 GTT 1-Hour Count Rates

    Resource ID
    spase://VEPO/NumericalData/Pioneer10/GTT/PT1H Get XML
    Name
    Pioneer 10 GTT 1-Hour Count Rates
    Description

    Hourly count rates from U. Iowa Geiger Tube Telescope (GTT) carried on Pioneer 10. There are five rates: electrons > 0.06 MeV plus protons > 25 MeV; e > 5 MeV plus p > 30 MeV; e >0.55 MeV plus p > 6.6 MeV; e > 21 MeV plus p > 80 MeV; e > 31 MeV plus p > 80 MeV. The data are ftp-accessible in annual ASCII files and via FTPBrowser. The hourly averages were computed at NSSDC from 15-min data still offline (as of Feb. 2009).
