<h1>IMA Ion Moments</h1>
<p>IMA ion moments are calculated in IRAP using Andrei Fedorov procedure.</p>
<h2>Caveats</h2>
<div>
<p>Density quality flag values:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>0.0 - 0.6:</b> Poor</li>
<li><b>0.6 - 0.8:</b> Acceptable</li>
<li><b>0.8 - 0.9:</b> Good</li>
<li><b>0.9 - 1.0:</b> Excellent</li>
</ul>
<p> VEX IMA protons and heavy ions number density could be considered reliable only in the case when corresponding
quality flag (<b><i>moments_quality_factor</i></b>) is greater than 0.6 and density values themselves are greater
than 0.01 cm-3</p>
<p>It is highly recommended to download quality flag along with IMA ion densities. <i>scan_flag</i> defines if there
is scanning over elevation angles (scan_flag = 1) or not (scan_flag = 0).</p>
