Hourly-averaged sectored Z>1 ion fluxes from the MF Spectrum Analyzer of the ACE/EPAM LEFS60 instrument. All energies thresholds take into account the incident particle type, shielding, and inactive dead-layer of the solid state detector. All fluxes are background corrected and are in the solar wind rest frame.

GO JUP HIC DERIVED ENERGETIC ION COMPOSITION V1.0

This data set provides energetic (MeV) ion fluxes for a variety of different Z values (carbon, oxygen, sulfur) derived from the Heavy Ion Counter (HIC) instrument on the Galileo spacecraft. The data set includes all recorded intervals at Jupiter.

THEMIS-C: Solid State Telescope (SST): Energy flux spectrogram, electron/ion ground-calculated fluxes (30 keV - 300 keV).

THEMIS-C: The Solid State Telescope (SST) measures the incoming intensity (flux per solid angle) of superthermal electrons and ions. The spacecraft is fitted with two units (heads), each SST unit has two pairs of opposing ion and electron sensors. Each single sensor covers an angle of 36 degrees. The units are oriented such that one pair is always centered in the rotation plane, the other oriented at a maximum angle of 54 degrees off the plane. Each pair of units are oriented opposite each other allowing both ion and electron sensors to sweep out a maximum of 92% of the sky (45x45 degree required Elevation by Azimuth FOV, 108x22 raw) . The ion and electron sensors primarily measure particles between 30-300 keV and 30-100 keV respectively with a maximum capability of 20-6000 keV and 25-1000 keV. Full distribution data is measured over 128 angles and 16 energy bins, reduced distribution uses 6 angles and 16 energy bins, and burst mode data has 64 angles in 16 energy bins. Matched and paired electron broom magnets produce quadrapole fields reducing magnetic contamination. A mechanical attenuator is used to increase the instruments dynamical range avoiding oversaturation near the plasma sheet edge.

ULYSSES JUPITER HISCALE LEMS 120 ION COUNTS

This data set consists of HISCALE Low-Energy Magnetic Spectrometer (LEFS) ion counts at 120 degrees from the spacecraft spin axis. These measurements were taken during the Ulysses Jupiter encounter 1991-12-31 to 1992-02-16, and include 1 hour averaged inbound cruise data (1991-12-31 to 1992-02-01), and 15 minute averaged encounter data (1992-02-02 to 1992-02-16).

THEMIS-A: ESA electron/ion energy fluxes and moments

THEMIS-A: Electrostatic Analyzers (ESA): Electron/Ion Ground-Calculated Energy Fluxes (5eV - 25 keV for Ions and 6eV - 30 KeV for Electrons) and Moments (density, velocity, pressure, and temperature). The satellite has 2 modes Fast and Slow survey and 3 data types: FULL, REDUCED and BURST. FULL: 88 angles x 32 energies, time resolution of 128 spins(395 seconds) in slow survey and 32 spins(98 seconds) in fast survey. REDUCED: spin time resolution(3 sec) but angles averaged into 1 angular spectra x 32 energies in slow survey or 6 angular spectra(90 degree x 90 degree window) x 32 energies in fast survey. BURST: 88 angles x 32 energies and spin time resolution(3 sec) but only available sporadically and for short duration. Note that angular resolution affects moments since they are obtained integrating over the mode-specific angular distribution. These moments are processed on the ground. They should be regarded as approximations but will improve in quality as our processing routines are improved over the course of the mission to account for additional sources of variance.

The records also hold flow velocity vector components and direction angles in HERTN and RTN coordinates. Chi-squared and statistical uncertainties are included, as are various flags. STEREO position information is given in radial distance and HEE, HEEQ and HCI direction angles.

THEMIS-C: On Board moments: ESA and SST Electron/Ion moments, density, flux, velocity, pressure and temperature.

THEMIS-C On Board moments. On board data outputs include number density, particle flux, energy flux, and a six component symetric momentum flux tensor. Other moments are calculated from these partial moments on the ground adding total pressure, velocity, plasma temperature (measured as a three dimensional energy vector), and a six component symetric pressure tensor to the list of data products. Number density and total pressure are scalar outputs. Velocity is calculated in DSL, GSE, GSM, and MFA coordinates (coordinate descriptions are listed below in Table 1). Magnetic Field Aligned pressure tensor and temperature are calculated as well. All quantities are calculated for both ions and electrons from a combination of ESA and SST data. Moments data are taken at spin resolution in all ESA survey modes except burst. The spacecraft potential, as measure by the EFI, is used to correct for spacecraft charging by shifting the particle energies for calculation; this eliminates contamination from photo-electrons. Also, weighting factors are used to account for instrument specific energy and angle efficiency variations. Table 1: Coordinate Descriptions. Despun Sun - L-vector (DSL): Z-axis points towards the spin axis, the Y-axis is obtained from the cross product of Z and the Spacecraft-Sun direction as viewed from the probe. The X-axis sits in the Z-axis-Sun plane and completes a right handed system. Geocentric Solar Ecliptic (GSE): Z-axis is normal to the solar ecliptic, the X-axis points from earth towards the Sun, and Y complets a right handed system. Geocentric solar Magnetosphereic (GSM): X-axis points from Earth to the Sun, the Y-axis is orthogonal to the Earth's magnetic dipole and points towards the dusk side, and the X-Z plane contains the dipole axis. Magnetic Field Aligned (MFA): Z-axis points along magnetic field lines, the Y-axis is the orthonormal cross product of the Z-axis and a vector pointing towards the Sun, and the X-axis completes the right handed system.
