plasma density (NEL)
AlternateName
Plasma density which contains the highest time resolution cross-calibrated density data,
when RPC-MIP is not delivering cross-calibrated density products
ReleaseDate
2019-08-26 16:52:52Z
Description
This data set is based on LAP data with use of a long-term LAP-MIP cross calibration for some time intervals
when MIP-LAP density is not available. Plasma density derived from individual current
measurements or floating potential measurements on one probe.
This is a preliminary data set which will be replaced by another in a few months.

Caveats
It is highly recommended to take into account quality value while working with plasma density.
* Parameter n_e_good corresponds to n_e quality gt 0.2
* Parameter n_e - all n_e quality values
* Note that you can colorize n_e parameter with the quality value (use ColoredParameter field of Plot Interface).
* Please always download quality value along with the n_e parameter.
Data Source :
* 1 - Downsampled floating potential measurement for an illuminated LAP1
* 2 - Downsampled floating potential measurement for an illuminated LAP2
* 3 - Vz for LAP1
* 4 - Vz for LAP1, but using a linearly extrapolated sweep
Quality Flag :
A quality flag is a (base 10) integer that is constructed in the two steps below:
* Add together the constants associated with the relevant quality-related effects listed below. Note that these constants are chosen such that every digit represents up to three true/false values for the presence/absence of three specific separate quality-related effects.
* Should the three quality-related effects be irrelevant for the given data product, then that digit is replaced by the digit “9”.
Quality flag event description :
* +1 - Low quality sweep analysis model fit
* +2 - One of two meanings: (1) Low sample size; an average is based on fewer data points than nominal (due to filtering or otherwise) and applies to sweep steps and downsampled time series. (2) zero-padding; zeros replace lost samples for the purpose of calculating PSD.
* +10 - One of two meanings: (1) Sweep data product and data products based on sweeps: SAA rotation of more than 0.05° during sweep. (2) Downsampled time series data product: Bias change within the 32 s downsampling period.
* +20 - Probe in partial or full shadow
* +100 - Rosetta wheel off-loading (WOL) or Orbit-control-maneuver (OCM)
* +200 - One of two meanings: (1) For LAP1: LDL disturbance (LAP2 in LDL mode); (2) For LAP2: Contamination signature possibly present
* +400 - Saturation
Example: suppose that one encounters the quality flag “109”. 109 = 100 + 9 means (1) that there is an ongoing wheel off-loading (+100), and (2) that the quality-related effects associated with +1 and +2 cannot occur even in principle for the kind of data that one is looking at.
