. The >10, >50, and >100 MeV proton flux profiles in the 'Bastille Day' event of 20.01.2005 (No. 81 in the Main Table) illustrating the approach for estimation of the proton spectral parameter ? = lg (J 10 /J 100 ) . Proton fluxes for this parameter were estimated from a leading prominent bump in GOES time profiles marked by arrows. Proton flux peaks coinciding with sudden commencements ( SC ) of geomagnetic storms were not considered.
