Description
This data set contains FIPS ( FIPS_NTP) ion number densities and temperatures,
as well as the pressure calculated from their product.
Quantities are calculated after sufficient time accumulation
to allow meaningful interpretation.
In this version of the dataset, many of these products are provided
in regions determined by hand-picked or modeled bow shock and
magnetopause boundaries. Boundary picking was done by the MAG team at
a level of accuracy sufficient for the relatively low time resolution
FIPS data (10s - 60s). Where these were not available, the model given
by Slavin et al. [Science, 2010] is used.

Caveats
The recovered density, temperature and pressure (NTP) product is
particularly sensitive to the region of Mercury's space environment in
which the data was taken. The reasons for this, based on validity of
required assumptions, are described in detail in the DDR SIS. This
data is provided within the magnetosphere, where the assumptions are
likely to hold for averages of 1 minute or more. It is also
provided in the magnetosheath within a 45 degree cone angle of the X_MSO
axis. The validity of the assumptions is much more variable here,
though they will often hold. USERS ARE STRONGLY CAUTIONED to read the
NTP section of the DDR SIS follow the recommendations for using these
quantities.
