Hi

I did my little exercise with CARI about 5 years ago and at the time the helio-centric potentials were only available (from the web) in monthly "blocks", i.e. all you had was an average for the month, so I'm not sure it could cope with the short lived spikes you get from a solar event; however that was five years back so if CARI now can factor flares in I bow to your greater knowledge.

(added at edit) Oops, yes you are right about the "casualty rate", my mistake, what I should have said is that roughly 1 in 3 in the UK will suffer from cancer in some point in their lives and roughly 1 in 4 will die from it....and on that happy thought...
