Energetic Proton Maps for the South Atlantic Anomaly
A new set of flux intensity maps for energetic protons in the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) region is presented for the epoch 2000-2006 based on data from the Compact Environmental Anomaly Sensor (CEASE) flown onboard the Tri-Service Experiment-S (TSX-5) satellite in a 410 km x 1710 km, 69 degree inc...
