Title: South Pole neutron monitor forecasting of solar proton radiation intensity Authors: S. Y. Oh, J. W. Bieber, J. Clem, P. Evenson, R. Pyle, Y. Yi, Y.-K. Kim
We describe a practical system for forecasting peak intensity and fluence of solar energetic protons in the tens to hundreds of MeV energy range. The system could be useful for forecasting radiation hazard, because peak intensity and fluence are closely related to the medical physics quantities peak dose rate and total dose.
