Abstract

Data from space-borne detectors and ground-level neutron monitors, together with radiation transport codes, are applied to calculate the single-event effects environments in the atmosphere due to large solar particle events. Calculations are validated against data from Concorde and show the importance of allowing for the increased penetration of particles to lower latitudes during geomagnetic storms. For the solar particle events studied, high-latitude subsonic routes are shown to experience higher neutron fluxes than Concorde routes. Upset rates for typical commercial memories are calculated for a number of situations, and implications for aircrew dose are discussed.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Flights at higher altitudes and closer proximity to the Earth's poles would be unlikely to continue after an extreme space weather event.

    “Flights at higher altitudes and closer proximity to the Earth's poles would be unlikely to continue (Dyer et al., 2003; Jones et al., 2005; Alvarez et al., 2016).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
