VG2 NEP PLS DERIVED RDR ION MAGNETOSPHERE 48SEC V1.0

This data set gives the best available values for ion densities, temperatures, and velocities near Neptune derived from data obtained by the Voyager 2 plasma experiment. All parameters are obtained by fitting the observed spectra (current as a function of energy) with Maxwellian plasma distributions, using a non-linear least squares fitting routine to find the plasma parameters which, when coupled with the full instrument response, best simulate the data. The PLS instrument measures energy/charge, so composition is not uniquely determined but can be deduced in some cases by the separation of the observed current peaks in energy (assuming the plasma is co-moving).

MMS 4 Energetic Particle Detector, Energetic Ion Spectrometer (EPD-EIS) Pulse Height by Time of Flight, Level 2 (L2), Survey Mode, 2.42 s Data

Energetic Particle Detector (EPD), Energetic Ion Spectrometer (EPD EIS) Pulse Height by Time of Flight, Level 2, Quick-Look Survey, 2.42 s Data. The EIS provides ion composition measurements (protons versus oxygen ions) and angular distributions over the energy range from approximately 45 to 500 keV.

MMS 2 Fast Plasma Investigation, Dual Ion Spectrometer (FPI, DIS) Instrument Distributions, Level 2 (L2), Burst Mode, 0.15 s Data

The Fast Plasma Instrument (FPI) usually Operates in Fast Survey (FS) Mode in the MMS Region Of Interest (ROI) for the current Mission Phase. Data are taken at Burst (30/150 ms for DES/DIS) Resolution in this Mode. Data are also made available at Survey (4.5 s, etc.) Resolution. Per Mission Design, not all Burst Resolution Data are downlinked, but all Survey Data are downlinked. This Product contains Phase Space Distribution Maps of those Burst Resolution Data selected for downlink. In particular, the (highest possible Quality at the Time of Release) corrected/converted "Burst Sky Map" Distributions are reported with Time Stamps and other Annotation characterizing the State of the Instrument System at the indicated Time.

ACE Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer (SWICS) Solar Wind Plasma Elemental and Isotopic Density, Speed, Thermal Speed, Charge State, and Ratio Parameters, Level 2 (L2), 2 h Data

This ACE SWICS/SWIMS Data Set contains the Alpha Particle Number Density, He/O, C/O, Ne/O, Mg/O, Si/O, Fe/O Abundance Ratios, C, O, Mg, Si, Fe Average Charge States, C+6/C+4, C+6/C+5, O+7/O+6 Charge State Ratios, He+2, C+5, O+6, Fe+10 Speeds and Thermal Speeds, and a Solar Wind Type Parameter that characterizes the Solar Wind as either Streamer, Coronal Hole, Coronal Mass Ejection (CME), or Unidentified. The Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer (SWICS), prior to August 23, 2011 and denoted as SWICS Version 1.1, determines uniquely the Chemical and Ionic Charge State Composition of the Solar Wind, the Temperatures and Mean Speeds of major Solar Wind Ions at all Speeds above 300 km/s for Protons and 170 km/s for Fe+16, and resolves Protons and Helium Isotopes of Solar and Interstellar Sources. SWICS 1.1 measures the Distribution Functions of Interstellar Cloud Pick-Up Ions and Interplanetary Dust Cloud Pick-Up Ions up to Energies of 100 keV/e. The ACE SWICS 1.1 Data Products represent a new Release of the Data with significantly improved Time Series Measurements for the Elemental Abundance, Charge State Composition, and Kinetic Properties of Heavy Ions in the Solar Wind. It is a major new Update produced with completely redesigned Analysis Methods to account more rigorously for Instrumental and Statistical Effects (Shearer et al., 2014). Rare Elements are now identified more reliably and Estimates of Statistical Error are provided. Release Notes are available that describe the Data, the Methods used to determine the Data Values, and Issues concerning Data Quality and Measurement Uncertainty. The Quality of ACE Level 2 Data is such that it is suitable for serious Scientific Study. However, to avoid Confusion and Misunderstanding, it is recommended that Users consult with the appropriate ACE Team Members before publishing Work derived from the Data. The ACE Team has worked hard to ensure that the Level 2 Data are free from Errors, but the Team cannot accept Responsibility for Erroneous Data, or for Misunderstandings about how the Data may be used. This is especially true if the appropriate ACE Team Members are not consulted before Publication. At the very least, Preprints should be forwarded to the ACE Team before Publication.

VG1 SAT PLS DERIVED ION MAGNETOSHEATH 96SEC V1.0

This data set contains Voyager 1 plasma fit data from Saturn's magnetosphere. The fit parameters assume a convected isotropic proton Maxwellian distribution. Use of fit parameters is recommended as these are normally more accurate. Since only the first 72 or last 72 energy/charge channels are telemetered to Earth from each M-mode spectra, derived parameters change significantly only every other set of spectra so the effective time resolution is 96 second.

STEREO-B IMPACT (In-Situ Measurements of Particles and CME Transients) Low Energy Telescope (LET) 1-min Level 1 Ion Fluxes

The IMPACT Low Energy Telescope (LET) data consist of 1-min resolution unsectored fluxes and counts for each of 15 single-Z ionic species at each of a species-dependent number of energy bins ranging between 9 and 16, plus 16-sectored fluxes and counts for 5 ionic species or Z groups in one (H) or two (He4, CNO, NiMgSi, Fe) energy ranges. There is much fill data. (

VOYAGER 2 SATURN PLASMA DERIVED ION FITS BROWSE 96 SEC

THIS DATA SET CONTAINS THE ION DENSITIES, TEMPERATURES, AND VELOCITIES OBTAINED FROM VOYAGER 2 PLS DATA (VOLTAGE RANGE 10-5950 EV/Q) AT SATURN BY FITTING THE MEASURED SPECTRA WITH ISOTROPIC MAXWELLIAN DISTRIBUTIONS. IT IS A SUBSET OF THE DATA SET VG2-S-PLS-5-ION-FIT-96.0SEC WHICH SHOULD BE OBTAINED BEFORE THIS DATA IS USED. ONLY SPECTRA WHICH HAD DISTINCT CURRENT PEAKS WERE FIT. SPECTRA WERE FIT USING ONE OR TWO ION SPECIES, PROTONS AND/OR A HEAVY ION WHICH WAS TAKEN TO BE OXYGEN. OUTSIDE L=10-12 ION SPECTRA CHANGE RAPIDLY, SO THE VALUES IN THIS DATA SET DO NOT REPRESENT AVERAGE PLASMA CONDITIONS IN THE OUTER MAGNETOSPHERE. A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF THIS DATA SET IS GIVEN IN RICHARDSON (1986). DATA FORMAT: FIRST 5 COLUMNS ARE TIME TAG (YEAR, DAY, HOUR, MIN SEC.MSEC), FOLLOWED BY PROTON DENSITY (CM-3), PROTON TEMPERATURE (EV), HEAVY ION DENSITY (CM-3), HEAVY ION TEMPERATURE (EV), AND THREE VELOCITY COMPONENTS, (RHO, PHI,Z) IN KM/S. A CYLINDRICAL COORDINATE SYSTEM CENTERED ON THE PLANET IS USED, WITH RHO OUTWARDS FROM THE SPIN AXIS, PHI IN THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION, AND Z THE DISTANCE ABOVE THE EQUATOR. EACH ROW HAS THE FORMAT (2I4,2I3, F7.3,7E11.3). VALUES OF 1.E32 INDICATE THAT THE PARAMETER COULD NOT BE OBTAINED FROM THE DATA USING THE STANDARD ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS DATASET AND THE INSTRUMENT WHICH PRODUCED IT CAN BE FOUND ELSEWHERE IN THIS CATALOG. AN OVERVIEW OF THE DATA IN THIS DATA SET CAN BE FOUND IN RICHARDSON (1986) AND A COMPLETE INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION CAN BE FOUND IN BRIDGE (1977).
