[Crater-team] Another six-month data point on the CRatER GCR LET time series

[Fatemeh Rahmanifard]

Thanks, Mark! Speaking of falling below the previous solar max see attached.

Best,
Fatemeh

Fantastic, Mark!  The fall to the new low was so dramatic. If LRO and CRaTER make it to 2031, then we will witness one more solar minimum. Any predictions?  :-)  Quite a ride for what was to be only a one-year mission, conceived, built, and flown so long ago now!  Go LRO!!

Hello—



                I think I sent you an earlier version of this (with one fewer spectrum) last fall.  I would like to place the LET spectra from our 2020 paper on the Zenodo archive and update the collection as time goes on, with a new spectrum every 6 months.  The most recent spectrum (and the dose rate calculated from it) has fallen well below the previous low mark, set during the solar maximum around 2014.



I have to get permission from the Aerospace legal folks to effect the necessary distribution license on Zenodo; my efforts to obtain this kind of ran dry around AGU time, but I need to start pushing on that Sisyphean rock again, in particular so I can put the GLACE model out there in time to publish the paper about it.  I attach a text file with the spectra and a README file describing its contents, with plots that update the ones in the 2020 paper and that correct an error I made there in combining high-LET bins for better statistics.



Enjoy—

--Mark
