ts1 - tracers1 (data files renamed on SPDF site)

ts2 - tracers2 (data files renamed on SPDF site)

 

REGIONS

BOR- backorbit

ROI- region of interest

 

note: Only MAG and MAGIC have separate BOR & ROI  cdfs, they are combined into one CDF for the other datasets.

 

INSTRUMENTS

ACI - Analyzer of Cusp Ions

ACE- Analyzer of Cusp Electrons

EFI - Electric Fields Instrument

MAG - Fluxgate Magnetometer

MAGIC - MAGnetometers for Innovation and Capability

MSC - Magnetic search coil

 

DATASET SUFFIXES

BAC - B (magnetic) field and "ac" is for AC as in alternating current

BDC - B (magnetic) field and "dc" is for DC as in direct current

EAC - E (electric) field and "ac" is for AC as in alternating current

EDC - E (electric) field and "dc" is for DC as in direct current

IPD - Ion Particle Distribution (dataset)
