Calculation of the SEP Flux at 1 au and Comparison with Multi-Satellite Observations

Abstract The SEP (Solar Energetic Particles) flux at 1au is an important index of space weather. Based on the parameterized Green function of the two-step SEP transport equation, we have simulated the SEP event on 2012 September 28, and calculated for the first time the SEP flux profiles observed by the GOES and STEREO double satellites for the same event. At the positions of GOES and STEREO-A, the calculated SEP peak value I max and the time to reach the peak value t max are well consistent with the observations. However, at the position of STEREO-B, there is a certain difference between our calculation and the observation, due to a large angular distance between the observed position and the SEP source, as well as the effect of unknown solar activities on the backside of the Sun.
