Description

Measurements have been made serendipitously of the integral fluxes of galactic cosmic rays (GCR) in geostationary orbit for over a decade. The GCR appear as background counts in an instrument designed to measure the fluxes and energy spectra of relativistic magnetospheric electrons. This database is described in this brief report.
