Dataset of steady magnetospheric convection events in Earth's magnetosphere from 1997 to 2013

<p>This dataset is a list of steady magnetospheric convection (SMC) events occurring in Earth&#39;s magnetosphere between 1997 and 2013.&nbsp; The criteria and method of SMC selection are documented in the following two papers:</p> <p>Kissinger et al. (2011), &quot;Steady magnetospheric convection and stream interfaces: Relationship over a solar cycle&quot;, JGR, doi:10.1029/2010JA015763.<br> <br> Kissinger et al. (2012), &quot;Diversion of plasma due to high pressure in the inner magnetosphere during steady magnetospheric convection&quot;, JGR, doi:10.1029/2012JA017579.</p> <p>The filename &quot;smc_list_1997_2013.csv&quot; is a list of every SMC selected during this time period. This is a comma-separated file with two columns: the first column is the timestamp indicating the start of the SMC event, and the second column is the timestamp indicating the end of the SMC event.&nbsp;</p> <p>The filename &quot;smc_list_1997_2013_longerthan5hrs.csv&quot; is a subset of the first list, filtered to only SMCs with a duration longer than 5 hours. The schema of this file matches the first one, with an additional third column showing the duration of the SMC in hours.</p>
