Notes. Effective interplanetary length (AU) traveled by protons. Column 1: label of the GLEs. Column 2: length computed from the onset times and the maximum energy of ERNE channels – without the NM point. Column 3: as Col. 2 but with the NM point. The error bars of Cols. 2 and 3 correspond to the standard deviation of the linear fit, increased by the error on the determination of the onset time (owing to background fluctuations). Column 4: length from Reames (2009).

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
