GOES Soft X-ray Flare List

ResourceID
spase://NOAA/Catalog/GOES/Soft_X-ray_Flare

Description
List generated by NOAA-SWPC based on observations in 0.1-0.8 nm from the XRS instrument on the GOES spacecraft. There are usually two GOES spacecraft operational resulting in virtually complete coverage since the 1970s. Recent segments of the catalogue can be found through the NOAA site; archive segments held by the NGDC. Catalog was written by goes_make_yearly_eventlist.pro. Original NOAA event lists: ftp://ftp.ngdc.noaa.gov/STP/space-weather/solar-data/solar-features/solar-flares/x-rays/goes/
