Daftar Isi:
- These data were generated using SWIA & NGIMS plasma and particle data collected on the MAVEN spacecraft. These data products were used to obtain the results found in a paper submitted to JGR: Planets, "An Analysis of Precipitating Solar Wind Hydrogen as Observed by the MAVEN Spacecraft". The data columns are as follows: Time [s]: This corresponds to the epoch time (ie number of seconds since January 1, 1970) at which each penetrating proton measurement was taken. Altitude [km]: MAVEN's altitude in kilometers at the time of the penetrating proton measurement. Column Density [cm^-2]: The column density at the point of the penetrating proton measurements (details of calculation can be found in paper) in inverse squared centimeters. Normalized Height: This is the unitless, normalized height of each penetrating proton spectrum measured by SWIA. Details of the normalization procedure can be found in the paper listed above. Normalized Width: This is the full width at half max divided by the peak energy for each modeled penetrating proton profile. This quantity is unitless. SZA [degrees]: This is the solar zenith angle in degrees at which the penetrating proton measurement was taken. Energy [eV]: This is the peak energy of each modeled penetrating proton profile in electronvolts.
