Description

This dataset contains X-ray flux data from March 1, 2001 through October 18, 2017. The source of this data is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA - https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/stp/spaceweather.html) or, more specifically, at https://satdat-vip.ngdc.noaa.gov/sem/goes/data/new_full

The samples are generated every 2 or 3 seconds. Each tuple has the following information separated by a comma:

  • time_tag: Date and time for each observation in the format YYYY-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.SSS UTC"
  • xs: X-ray short wavelength channel irradiance (0.5 - 0.3 nm);
  • xl: X-ray long wavelength channel irradiance  (0.1 - 0.8 nm);
  • "-99999" indicates missing values.

The scripts used to obtain this data from the NOAA website are available in the repository https://gradvohl.github.io/xrayflux

The file is compressed with tar and gunzip.

Notes

The HighPIDS research group (http://highpids.ft.unicamp.br) use this database to apply algorithms to predict the behavior of x-rays emitted from the sun.
