The >10,
>50, and >100 MeV proton flux profiles in the “Bastille
Day” event of 20.01.2005 (No. 81
in the Main Table) illustrating the approach for
estimation of the proton spectral parameter δ = lg
(J10/J100). Proton fluxes for this parameter were estimated
from a leading prominent bump in GOES time profiles marked by arrows. Proton
flux peaks coinciding with sudden commencements (SC) of geomagnetic storms were
not considered.
