- The data sets and python notebook included are for a submitted manuscript to the Journal of Geophysical Review: Space Physics. An IDL save file has also been included which contains variables from a reconstruction of the event in the manuscript. The time variable in tt2000. Other variables are in units of nW/m^3 by default. The purpose of the work is to determine how electromagnetic energy is converted into plasma energy in the electron diffusion region of magnetic reconnection. Using both spacecraft data and simulations, we investigate how the terms in Poynting's theorem change as reconnection begins and evolves in time.
