This data is provided to comply with the AGU's data policy for the publication of Glauert et al., "Evaluation of SaRIF high-energy electron reconstructions and forecasts" in Space Weather, 2021. Each data file corresponds to a figure or table in the paper and covers the period from 1 March 2019 to 1 September 2019. The data sets are as follows: Figure 1 - SaRIF reconstructions of the >800 keV and the >2 MeV flux (in cm-2 s-1 sr-1) measured by the GOES 14 spacecraft. Figure 3 - SaRIF 24-hour forecasts of the >800 keV and the >2 MeV flux (in cm-2 s-1 sr-1) at the location of the GOES 14 spacecraft. Figure 5 - SaRIF reconstructions of the >800 keV and the >2 MeV flux (in cm-2 s-1 sr-1) measured by the GOES 14 spacecraft, with the improvements to the modelling detailed in the paper. Figure 6 - Simulated SaRIF 24-hour forecasts of the >800 keV and the >2 MeV flux (in cm-2 s-1 sr-1) at the location of the GOES 14 spacecraft, with the improvements to the modelling detailed in the paper. Table 6 - Simulated SaRIF 24-hour reconstructions and forecasts of the >800 keV and the >2 MeV flux (in cm-2 s-1 sr-1) at the location of the GOES 14 spacecraft when the outer boundary for the simulation is placed at L* = 6.6. These are the values used to produce the metrics in Table 6. This research was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Highlight Topic Grant NE/P01738X/1 (Rad-Sat), National and Public Good activity grant NE/R016445/1 and ESA contract 4000118861/16/D/MRP (SSA P2-SWE-XIII proto- type) : The data was produced by the BAS Radiation Belt Model, as described in Glauert et al., "Evaluation of SaRIF high-energy electron reconstructions and forecasts", Space Weather, 2021. : The data is output from the British Antarctic Survey Radiation Belt Model for reconstructions and forecasts made by the SaRIF website. The accuracy of the reconstructions and forecasts, when compared to measurements from the GOES-14 satellite, is discussed in detail in 'Evaluation of SaRIF high-energy electron reconstructions and forecasts', Glauert et al., Journal Geophysical Research, 2021. As an example, the improved reconstructions discussed in the paper show Pearson correlation coefficients of 0.89 and prediction efficiencies of 0.87 for >2MeV electrons.
