Flux (blue curves) absorbed dose rate (red curves) and ratio absorbed dose/flux (black curves) versus L value. Upper plot displays the data by the D1 detector of Liulin-5 on the ISS during the SEP event on 07 March 2012 from 17:20:08 UT to 17:46:30 UT. The bottom plot displays the same parameters obtained by the Liulin dosimeter on the Mir space station during the SEP event on 30 September 1989 from 00:54:10 UT to 01:18:40 UT. The data in both plots are taken outside the SAA.
