Long Description
These South Pole UV auroral images (123-155 nm) can be best seen from within
the NACS software by selecting the Mapped Image Plot option in Graphics.
Recommended settings for the parameters in this option are:
1. Choose MLAT,MLT,KRAY for X,Y,Z.
2. Choose Nearest1 algorithm and 100 gridpoints.
3. Choose Orthographic projection, -90 for the pole, magnification of 3,
and set MAPDATA to 10 to turn off continent outlines.
4. You may change the plotted range of intensities from default values.
5. Select times that include the start time of the desired image.
6. Fill in the plot Title, save_filename, Username, etc.
Images are 12 min apart for Events A and B, 8 or 12 min for Event C, 6 min for
Event D, and 8 min for Event E. The geomagnetic coordinates are corrected
(IGRF 1980, Gustafsson) magnetic latitude and magnetic local time, in degrees.
The original ungridded images are also available on the MAC, via NCSA Image. A
program is available (9/91), to run on a Sun workstation, which displays the
ungridded images, saves values of selected points, and presents a mapped
gridded image on request (geographic or geomagnetic).

!!! The images for the last half of Event E were revised in August 1990 to fix
a drift in the location values caused by onboard nadir-determination problems.
Discard any DE-1 Event E plots of SAI data made before 8/90.
In addition, a handful of pixels in most images have bad coordinate values
in CDFs made before 7/92. These are unlikely to have caused problems.

Cal.Flg(if>0,PCNT=calib) GM32CALB Calibration Flag
Long Description
The channel for this data set is nominally designed for protons with
energies of 0.8 - 4 MeV. However, there are a lot of electron counts
and proton counts are almost always masked. There are often injection
events in the dawn side in this data set so that we assume that
particles are mainly electrons with energies less than 500 KeV. There
is one channel for electrons with energies greater than 2 MeV but it
is not available during the CDAW 9 periods.
Non-zero values of the CALB parameter imply the CDF contains
calibration data at those points.

Long Description
Measurements of energetic particles were made by essentially identical
instrumentation on the ISEE-1 and -2 Mother/Daughter spacecraft. Four fixed
voltage electrostatic analyzers measure ~1.5 keV and ~6 keV electrons and
protons (2e, 2p, 6e, 6p), and two semiconductor telescopes measure e and p
fluxes above 15 keV. One of these telescopes (FT) has a thin foil cover to
stop low energy protons; the open telescope (OT) counts both electrons and
protons. The detectors' view directions are along the spin axis (nominally
normal to the ecliptic plane), except for the FT which looks 15 deg from the
spin axis. This minimizes spin modulation effects that could confuse
comparison of features seen at both spacecraft.

Long Description
This CDF contains the data for every third energy value of this experiment.
Energy steps 0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30, and 32 were included. This CDF has a
very fine time resolution of 0.15 seconds, and is therefore quite large. It
takes a large amount of time to plot more than about an hour of data for any
parameter.

Brief Description
Due to the very large data volume, for best response time when plotting power
density vs time the user should use filtering to select a single frequency index
(which is constant), rather than the frequency range (which is time-varying and
requires much longer to search).
Long Description
Both VI3H and VI3L have identical parameters, basically the power
spectral density as a function of frequency. The instrument has 3 operating
modes, and switches from one to another at various times.
VI3H (Higher frequencies) contains Mode 1 and 2 data:
Mode 1: from 10 to 214 Hz in 14 ranges
Mode 2: from 10 to 428 Hz in 17 ranges.
VI3L (Lower frequencies) contains Mode 3 data:
1

Version No. 2.02 DETAILED DATA SET DESCRIPTION - contd. CDFname : VI3H
--------------------------------------
Mode 3: from 0.4 to 10 Hz in 13 frequency ranges.
Because the instrument changes modes continuously, there is 2-second resolution
in both VI3H and VI3L, but never the same time for H and for L.
For plotting a power density spectrum, the user should plot the power density,
using filtering to select the time interval. Or, the Animation feature can be
used, animating on, e.g., IMINUTE, which would then produce a composite of all
the spectra for each minute of time. When using Animation for this, one might
want to set the controls to ORDER on either the vertical or the horizontal
parameter, or use SCATTER plot instead of VECTOR, to avoid drawing extraneous
lines from the end of one spectrum to the beginning of the next one.

Long Description
These CDFs contain electron and ion (mostly proton) data from the Viking-3 hot
plasma experiment. The full resolution dataset contains 36 electron energy
channels and 32 ion energy channels. The energy of each channel depends on the
detector mode; two electron modes (one of which had only 32 energy channels) and
three ion modes occurred during the CDAW-9 events. Because of the large quantity
of data, 9 contiguous energy bins were defined for each detector; the energy at
the low-energy bin edge is given in the variables VI5WELEN for electrons and
VI5WINEN for ions. The highest bin edge is 40 keV for both detectors. The 9
fluxes in the arrays VI5WEFLX and VI5WIFLX are the average of the fluxes in each

To examine the time history of the data, plot one flux channel vs time, using a
filter on VI5WELEN or VI5WINEN to select the channel. To see an energy
spectrum, make an XY plot VI5WEFLX vs VI5WELEN (for electrons), with a filter on
the desired time. For more than one spectrum in a time interval (spectra are
available every 1.2 s), use the Animation feature.

--------------------------------------
Long Description
CDFs from the 3 s/c 1982-019A, 1984-037A and 1984-129A are identical in form.
There are 4 detectors: low energy electrons (LOE), high energy electrons (HIE),
each with 6 energy ranges; and LOP and HIP for protons, with 10 and 16 energy
ranges (only the 1st 6 or 7 of HIP are useful). For LOE, HIE, and LOP, each
range is from a lower energy level up to the detector maximum--an integrated
energy. For example, the 1st two LOE ranges are 30-300 keV and 45-300 keV.
The 30-45 keV range is thus the difference between the two measurements. For
low levels, background is significant, and measurements for a detector may not
be strictly monotonic for any individual 10-s average. In such cases, the
differential flux is made 0 for energies above the non-monotonic flux.
6 HIE fluxes are stacked after 6 LOE fluxes in S019DJE. Low edge of each energy
bin is in S019EEN and bands are contiguous, so 1st bin is 30-45 keV. Band 6 is
top band of LOE (200-300 keV), same as band 7 (lowest energy of HIE). Topmost
energy is 2000 keV. The 5 channels marked 1996-2000 keV are fill values only.
10 LOP channels are in elements 1-9 and 11 of S019DJP and the 1st 7 HIP channels
are in elements 10 and 12-17, so ranges increase monotonically. Low edge of
energy bin is in S019PEN; upper edge is value of the bin above it except bins
9-11 have ranges .377-.462, .37-.52, and .462-.600 MeV. Topmost energy bin is
1.7-2.2 MeV.
For time history of the data, plot flux from S019DJE or S019DJP vs time, and
filter on S019EEN or S019PEN to select the channel. Energy spectrum: make an
XY plot of S019DJE vs S019EEN (for electrons), filtered on desired time. For
successive spectra (spectra are available every 10-s), use Animation.
Direction cosines for H, V, D are with respect to dipole-meridian coordinates: H
is parallel to the dipole axis, V radially outward, and D east. S019THET and
S019PHI are colatitude relative to the H axis and the azimuth measured from the
negative V axis.

Long Description
CDFs from the 3 s/c 1982-019A, 1984-037A and 1984-129A are identical in form.
There are 4 detectors: low energy electrons (LOE), high energy electrons (HIE),
each with 6 energy ranges; and LOP and HIP for protons, with 10 and 16 energy
ranges (only the 1st 6 or 7 of HIP are useful). For LOE, HIE, and LOP, each
range is from a lower energy level up to the detector maximum--an integrated
energy. For example, the 1st two LOE ranges are 30-300 keV and 45-300 keV.
The 30-45 keV range is thus the difference between the two measurements. For
low levels, background is significant, and measurements for a detector may not
be strictly monotonic for any individual 10-s average. In such cases, the
differential flux is made 0 for energies above the non-monotonic flux.
This CDF is a subset of S019, containing only selected energy channels for the
particle flux, and some of the other variables. Each energy channel is now in
a separate variable. The selected fluxes are: all 6 for LOE, the lowest 8 for
LOP, and the lowest 5 for HIP, corresponding to elements 1-6 in S019DJE, and
elements 1-8,10,12-15 in S019DJP.
Direction cosines for H, V, D are with respect to dipole-meridian coordinates: H
is parallel to the dipole axis, V radially outward, and D east. S019THET and
S019PHI are colatitude relative to the H axis and the azimuth measured from the
negative V axis.

low levels, background is significant, and measurements for a detector may not
be strictly monotonic for any individual 10-s average. In such cases, the
differential flux is made 0 for energies above the non-monotonic flux.
6 HIE fluxes are stacked after 6 LOE fluxes in S037DJE. Low edge of each energy
bin is in S037EEN and bands are contiguous, so 1st bin is 30-45 keV. Band 6 is
top band of LOE (200-300 keV), same as band 7 (lowest energy of HIE). Topmost
energy is 2000 keV. The 5 channels marked 1996-2000 keV are fill values only.
10 LOP channels are in elements 1-9 and 11 of S037DJP and the 1st 7 HIP channels
are in elements 10 and 12-17, so ranges increase monotonically. Low edge of
energy bin is in S037PEN; upper edge is value of the bin above it except bins
9-11 have ranges .35-.45, .38-.49, and .45-.56 MeV. Topmost energy bin is
1.8-2.3 MeV.
For time history of the data, plot flux from S037DJE or S037DJP vs time, and
filter on S037EEN or S037PEN to select the channel. Energy spectrum: make an
XY plot of S037DJE vs S037EEN (for electrons), filtered on desired time. For
successive spectra (spectra are available every 10-s), use Animation.
Direction cosines H, V, D, S037THET and S037PHI have spurious values for S037.

Brief Description
This CDF was revised on August 2, 1990, to correct the sensitivity
calibration. The earlier version assumed 1 nT per data count instead
of the actual 0.006 nT per data count that is included in this
revision. All three components were corrected by the same factor.

Long Description
These data were obtained at the Boston College Weston Observatory in Weston,
Massachusetts by Father Devine and Ted Johnston of Boston College using a
3-axis flux gate magnetometer loaned them by Howard Singer of the Air Force
Geophysics Laboratory. This magnetometer had previously been used in the AFGL
Magnetometer Network.
The three magnetic field components are H (measured positive in the magnetic
north direction) D (measured positive in the magnetic east direction) and Z
(measured positive vertically downwards). All are measured in nanoTesla (nT).
The magnetometer provides measurements of variations in the local magnetic
field, not its absolute value, so all three components have an arbitary
baseline.
Warning: the clock was reset only every two weeks, and the drift may
amount to as much as 30 sec (the clock runs fast). No attempt has been made to
correct the CDF times for this.
