The TOF head can measure species + and energy, while the ION head only measures the energy of the ions, which are mostly protons. + In fact, the counts in the ION head are all assumed to be protons up to 1830 keV. The ION + head has 10 energy channels, and so the first 8 channels (that are all below 1830 keV) are assumed + to be all protons, and the 2 channels above this are assumed to be all alphas. The TOF head + has 9 energy channels that are generic (ions of any species are counted) and some species specific + channels for protons, helium, oxygen, and iron. The AMPTE data was divided into records, with each + record holding data from 4 spins. In any record, all the TOF species channels are always present, + but only one of either a) the 10 ION head channels or b) 9 TOF generic channels are + present. The majority of records have the ION head channels. + The AMPTE spacecraft had a spin period of about 6 seconds. MEPA data is sectored into 32 directions + per spin. Nearly all channels are reported as sectored values, but to conserve telemetry, many channels + are only read out every other spin, or every fourth spin. In this data, all values are summed so that + they are reported every fourth spin. Note that in the original AMPTE datesets, there was a timing problem + which required that 19.75 seconds (one Major Frame of telemetry) be added to time values extracted from + the processing system. This correction has already been made in the particle data in this dataset. + </Description> + <Acknowledgement>User will acknowledge the AMPTE/CCE MEPA team in any publication resulting from the use of these data.</Acknowledgement> + <Contact> + <PersonID>spase://SMWG/Person/Richard.W.McEntire</PersonID> + <Role>PrincipalInvestigator</Role> + </Contact> + <InformationURL> + <Name>NSSDC Master Catalog</Name> + <URL>https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/experiment/display.action?id=1984-088A-02</URL> + <Description>Information about the AMPTE-CCE MEPA</Description> + </InformationURL> + </ResourceHeader> + <InstrumentType>EnergeticParticleInstrument</InstrumentType> + <InvestigationName>MEPA</InvestigationName> + <ObservatoryID>spase://CNES/Observatory/CDPP-AMDA/AMPTE/CCE</ObservatoryID> + </Instrument> +</Spase> -- libgit2 0.21.2
