Abstract
Distinguishing features of a series of solar proton event (SPE) catalogs for the 20th-24th cycles of solar activity are described. The results of a comparative analysis of the 23rd and 24th cycles of solar activity performed according to the data of a series of SPE catalogs are presented. The opportunities provided by SPE catalogs for studying space weather factors, such as the dynamics of solar activity, the structure and state of the interplanetary medium, and the Earth's magnetosphere are discussed.
