Abstract

We describe a new data product combining the spin‐averaged electron flux measurements from the Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP) Energetic Particle Composition and Thermal Plasma (ECT) suite on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Van Allen Probes. We describe the methodology used to combine each of the data sets and produce a consistent set of spectra for September 2013 to the present. Three‐minute‐averaged flux spectra are provided spanning energies from 15 eV up to 20 MeV. This new data product provides additional utility to the ECT data and offers a consistent cross calibrated data set for researchers interested in examining the dynamics of the inner magnetosphere across a wide range of energies. Key Points A new combined electron flux data product for the Van Allen Probes mission is described Results from cross calibration of the RBSP‐ECT instrument suite are presented This data product represents the first ever complete electron spectra throughout the inner magnetosphere from tens of electron volts to tens of megaelectron volts
