2.3.1 spase://CNES/NumericalData/CDPP-AMDA/Rosetta/LAP/ros-lap-pho photosaturation current (PHO) Photosaturation current derived collectively from multiple sweeps 2016-10-15T14:08:29Z There are two estimates of the photoemission current from LAP1 sweeps of a sunlit probe. I_PH0_60M in PH0 files is a statistical estimate from several sweeps (over 60 minute windows), while I_PH0_S in the ASW files is an estimate from a single sweep with larger uncertainties but higher time resolution (usually 160 s). As LAP1 has shown no significant contamination effects, these estimates should be directly proportional to the EUV flux at the Rosetta position in the 20-130 nm band [Johansson et al, 2017]. For LAP2, the same techniques have revealed a lower photoemission at the start of the cometary phase of the emission, and a sharp drop in photoemission after significant thruster firings (e.g. dayside excursion, 60% decrease) with sporadic recoveries and relapses. We therefore only use LAP1 based values. While there is no other source of photoemission measurements than LAP, its value is controlled by solar EUV radiation which is known from e.g. TIMED and SDO at Earth and MAVEN at Mars. Photoemission values by both methods were presented by Johansson et al. [2017] and compared to Earth and Mars data. The two methods were found to give consistent results, also in agreement with a third independent method immune to instrument offsets. However, around perihelion all methods returned about 50% less photoemission than expected from the Earth and Mars EUV fluxes. This may be a real effect, for example because of attenuation of solar EUV radiation by large numbers of small dust grains at large distance from the nucleus. It is also possible that this somehow relates to probe surface contamination, though no other such effects have been noted on LAP1. This is a preliminary data set which will be replaced by another in a few months. spase://CNES/Person/Anders.Eriksson PrincipalInvestigator spase://CNES/Person/Erik.Johansson DataProducer RPC User Guide http://amda.irap.omp.eu/help/parameters/RPC_USER_GUIDE.PDF RPC LAP User Guide http://amda.irap.omp.eu/help/parameters/RO-IRFU-LAP-UG.PDF RPC-LAP to Planetary Science Archive Interface Control Document http://amda.irap.omp.eu/help/parameters/RO-IRFU-LAP-EAICD.PDF RPC-LAP Report on cross-calibration of LAP data to measurements by other RPC instruments http://amda.irap.omp.eu/help/parameters/RO-IRFU-LAP-XCAL.PDF spase://SMWG/Repository/CNES/CDPP-AMDA Online Restricted http://amda.cdpp.eu NetCDF PSA RO-C-RPCLAP-5-xxx-DERIV2-V1.0 spase://CNES/Instrument/CDPP-AMDA/Rosetta/LAP ThermalPlasma 2014-03-24T08:12:59Z 2016-09-30T10:31:16Z PT60S Quality Flag : A quality flag is a (base 10) integer that is constructed in the two steps below: * Add together the constants associated with the relevant quality-related effects listed below. Note that these constants are chosen such that every digit represents up to three true/false values for the presence/absence of three specific separate quality-related effects. * Should the three quality-related effects be irrelevant for the given data product, then that digit is replaced by the digit “9”. Quality flag event description : * +1 - Low quality sweep analysis model fit * +2 - One of two meanings: (1) Low sample size; an average is based on fewer data points than nominal (due to filtering or otherwise) and applies to sweep steps and downsampled time series. (2) zero-padding; zeros replace lost samples for the purpose of calculating PSD. * +10 - One of two meanings: (1) Sweep data product and data products based on sweeps: SAA rotation of more than 0.05° during sweep. (2) Downsampled time series data product: Bias change within the 32 s downsampling period. * +20 - Probe in partial or full shadow * +100 - Rosetta wheel off-loading (WOL) or Orbit-control-maneuver (OCM) * +200 - One of two meanings: (1) For LAP1: LDL disturbance (LAP2 in LDL mode); (2) For LAP2: Contamination signature possibly present * +400 - Saturation Example: suppose that one encounters the quality flag “109”. 109 = 100 + 9 means (1) that there is an ongoing wheel off-loading (+100), and (2) that the quality-related effects associated with +1 and +2 cannot occur even in principle for the kind of data that one is looking at. i_ph0_60m ros_lap_pho Photosaturation current derived collectively from multiple sweeps A TimeSeries -1.e9 i_ph0_60m : qual ros_lap_pho_q Quality value in the range 0 (worst) to 1 (best).
