Description

The latest extension of the Solar Accumulated and Peak Proton and Heavy Ion Radiation Environment (SAPPHIRE) modelling suite is presented.
SAPPHIRE-2S is a probabilistic model for mission specification concerning Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) particle radiation.
It is based on the data of the latest version of the SEPEM Reference Dataset with the addition of newly curated data from the ACE, IMP8 and SOHO missions.
The model provides outputs for solar protons, electrons, and heavy ions in the 40 keV/nuc - 875 MeV/nuc range aiming to cover all aspects of SEP particle radiation.
The modelling is based on the established Virtual Timelines methodology of the previous SAPPHIRE versions with the addition of novel elements. These add
the capacity to provide physically and temporally coherent particle time-series as the base output allowing detailed SEP effects analysis and the coupling with other models.
