Stereo Data at AMDA

• ORBIT: GSE and HEE
  Argument /GLOBAL while plotting orbit in HEE gives global view.
• IMPACT/MAG: RTN
  Level 1, 1 Hz
  from http://aten.igpp.ucla.edu/ssc/stereo/
• IMPACT/SWEA: Electron Moments and Pitch-Angle Distribution (E=45-2000eV)
  Level 2, 30 s
  from http://stereo.cesr.fr/
  
  
  Electron Moments
  • Ne
  • Te : Te_par, Te_perp1, Te_perp2
  • Qe_rtn : Qe_r, Qe_t, Qe_n
  • Qe : Qe_par, Qe_perp
  • quality_MAG:
    0 --> B field INSIDE instrument field-of-view: moments well determined.
    1 --> B field OUTSIDE instrument field-of-view: moments NOT well determined.
  • quality_PLA:
    0 --> Temperature/Heat Flux corrected for ion bulk flow (from STEREO/PLASTIC)
    1 --> Temperature/Heat Flux NOT corrected for ion bulk flow (Data unavailable)
  
  
  Pitch-Angle Distribution
  • PAD : by default at 250 eV. You may PLOT PAD for another energy using an argument E=E[in eV].
  • quality_MAG:
    0 --> B field INSIDE instrument field-of-view: ALL PA covered.
    1 --> B field OUTSIDE instrument field-of-view: NOT ALL PA covered.
  • quality_PLA:
    0 --> PA distributions corrected for ion bulk flow (from STEREO/PLASTIC)
    1 --> PA distributions NOT corrected for ion bulk flow (Data unavailable)
• PLASTIC: Proton Moments : Level 2, 1D maxwellian fits, 1 min
