IMAGE RPI Passive Plasma Emissions Data

IMAGE RPI Passive Plasma Emissions Data

Years: 2001-2005

The electron plasma frequency values listed in this file are evaluated from the IMAGE Radio Plasma Imager

• Year: year
• Day_of_yea: day of year number (1-366)
• Hour: hour (UT)
• Minute: minute (UT)
• Second: seconds (UT)
• Radial_Distance: radial distance (RE)
• MLAT: magnetic latitude (deg)
• MLT: magnetic local time (hours)
• L_DIP: L-shell calculated from R and MLAT assuming a dipole magnetic field
• AM: equals 1 (2) if fpe is derived from the automatic (manual) fit
• PC: equals 1 (2) if fpe is derived from an Upper Hybrid frequency peak
• FPE: electron plasma frequency (kHz) from fits, from which the electron density ne can be determined
• fCE_MOD: electron cyclotron frequency (kHz) from the T96_01 magnetic field MODEL
• N1_2: number of n+1/2 harmonics recognized by automatic routine
• FCE_N1_2: electron cyclotron frequency (kHz) from the spacing of n+1/2 harmonics, from which the magnetic field B can be determined
• Standard_Deviation: standard deviation (kHz) of fce_n+1/2 based on individual frequencies
