B.2            GEO model (IGE-2006)

IGE-2006 (International GEO electrons) (referred to in 9.2.1.2.1) is an international model based on two and a half solar cycles of in-orbit data coming from different space environment monitors which have been inter-calibrated. It provides the average and upper case electron flux at geostationary orbit for different energies (from 0,9 keV to 5,2 MeV) and for the eleven years around Solar Min (see Table B-2 and 0). The upper case model includes uncertainties in the models and underlying data.
