DE-1 EICS DE_VS_EICS H+,O+,He+ Fluxes in 15 Energy and 14 Pitch Angle bins, 96 sec Averages in ISTP/CDF Format

NSSDC ID: SPMS-00409

Availability: At NSSDC, Ready for Electronic Access

Time span: 1981-09-15 to 1990-11-14

Description

The Energetic Ion Composition Spectrometer (EICS), Validated Summary (VS) data consist of 96 second average fluxes (in units of 1/(cm^2-sec-sr-keV) ) for H+, O+, and He+ ions in 15 energy (~0.01 to ~20 keV) and 14 pitch angle bins . The data files are organization by day and are in ISTP-compatible CDF format. The data set also includes data uncertainties, data quality indicators, and spacecraft position. The main reference is Peterson, W.K., H.L.Collin, M.F. Doherty and C.M. Bjorklund, O+ and He+ restricted and extended (bi-modal) ion conic distributions, Geophys. Res. Lett., 19, 1439, 1992.

CDAWeb supports: (1) graphical browse display of user-selected parameters and time intervals; (2) downloading of user-selected parameters in ASCII; and (3) downloading of data in CDF format. Empty (no actual data) master CDFs for the CDAWeb CDFs are maintained in the CDAWeb system at NSSDC. These are the latest versions of the labeling, display, and explanatory information carried by the CDF structure for this collection. When a screen plot or an ASCII listing is obtained from CDAWeb, the master CDF information is automatically used and displayed. However, when the user obtains data by downloading CDFs, the master CDF should also be obtained separately, as its content may well differ from that of the data CDFs, which remain unchanged.
