Discussion on PRBEM Data Analysis Procedure at COSPAR

Two time slots for discussion in PRBEM.1 on July 17.

1550-1610 - review of PRBEM data analysis procedure

1610-1630 - discussion of GSICS international collaborative effort

Who is attending? No remote participation as far as is known. Nagatsuma-san will discuss the possibility with core members of PRBEM.

Summary of results from review of PRBEM procedure - feedback provided during meeting:

First bullet: Ingmar - only have high fluxes in high energy channels when conditions are disturbed. This should be noted.

Third bullet: Ingmar - Need to identify a gold standard region as well as gold standard instrument - region in which instrument performs well. For example, avoid regions of significant contamination from protons.

Requests for PRBEM procedure:

Hugh - regarding conjunctions, also need to address GNSS-GNSS in the radiation belts where close conjunctions do not occur

Consider expanding scope to provide guidelines for cross-calibration of solar energetic particles within the heliosphere.

Nagatsuma-san will try to prepare draft of presentation before COSPAR before review.

Action Items

1. Work plan wording to define GSICS deliverables - ongoing

3. Data level definitions from institutions - Nagatsuma-san will remind

4. Compare different cross-calibration methods - ongoing, to be discussed at COSPAR

7. Decision on adoption of PRBEM procedure and common code base - like #4
