PROTONS and ALPHAS

Plots

• Proton Parameters: Bulk Velocity, Density, and Temperature derived from a 1D Maxwellian fit of PLASTIC data.
• Proton Velocity Components: HERTN and RTN velocity components and flow angles derived from a 1D Maxwellian fit of PLASTIC data.
• Proton Condegrams: Bulk Velocity, Density, and Temperature derived from a 1D Maxwellian fit of PLASTIC data. Condegram Plots.
• Protons Projected to Earth: Stereo A and B times have been translated to Earth's heliocentric distance and longitude for comparison with Wind SWE key parameters (ftp://cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/istp/, courtesy K. Ogilvie, SWE PI). Data are otherwise unmodified.
• On-Board Proton Moments: Bulk Velocity, Density, and Temperature derived from on-board (IDPU) moment calculations. These data are updated on a daily basis, but are not fully validated.
• On-Board Proton Moments Comparison STA and STB daily.
• On-Board Proton Moments Comparison STA and STB monthly.
• RA_OB_moments comparison -- daily: Comparison of proton data from on-board moments and 1D Maxwellian fit ('RA').
• RA_OB_moments comparison -- monthly: Comparison of proton data from on-board moments and 1D Maxwellian fit ('RA').
• Solar Wind Stack Plots: Time series of the solar wind full resolution rate.
• Def_mom_AB_comparison: Comparision of on-board moments and 1D Maxwellian fit protons with regard to deflection information.
• RA_Trig Deflection Spectrograms: RA_Trig is used for 1D Maxwellian fit for protons.
• RA_Trig Energy Spectrograms: RA_Trig is used for 1D Maxwellian fit for protons.
• Moment_efficiencies: Efficiencies that are relevant on-board moments calculation.
• Daily RA OB Background Plots: Used for evauating high background.
• Monthly RA OB Background Plots: Used for evauating high background.
• Daily Beacon RA OB Plots: Comparison plots for Beacon, RA and OB proton data.
• Monthly Beacon RA OB Plots: Comparison plots for Beacon, RA and OB proton data.
• Proton 5 min.: Used for evaluating a 5-min algorithm.
• PLASTIC WAP Protons & IMPACT MAG Bfield. Impact data from https://aten.igpp.ucla.edu/forms/stereo/level2_plasma_and_magnetic_field.html, courtesy J. Luhmann, IMPACT PI. These are updated as MAG data becomes available. This version plots counts.
• PLASTIC WAP Protons & IMPACT MAG Bfield. Impact data from https://aten.igpp.ucla.edu/forms/stereo/level2_plasma_and_magnetic_field.html, courtesy J. Luhmann, IMPACT PI. These are updated as MAG data becomes available. This version plots counts/second, and angular miss plots.
