The capabilities and applications of FY-3A/B SEM on monitoring space weather events

The space environment monitor (SEM), onboard the Chinese meteorological satellites FengYun-3A/B, has the abilities to measure proton flux in 3-300-MeV energy range and electron flux in 0.15-5.7-MeV energy range. SEM can also detect the heavy ion compositions, satellite surface potential, the radiation dose in sensors, and the single events. The space environment information derived from SEM can be...
