Standard

ECSS-E-ST-10-12C - Methods for the calculation of radiation received and its effects, and a policy for design margins (15 November 2008) + "Identified typographical error"

Definition

emission of energetic protons or heavier nuclei from the Sun within a short space of time (hours to days) leading to particle flux enhancement

Notes

NOTE SEPE are usually associated with solar flares (with accompanying photon emission in optical, UV and X-Ray) or coronal mass ejections.
