AIM/CDE (Cosmic Dust Experiment) data are available
as Levels 1 and 2 daily netCDF files. L1 data contains, for each dust
grain impact, a time tag, pulse height data, a number of electrons released
by the impact, and engineering and housekeeping data. L2 data adds the mass
of the impacting particle and spacecraft location at time of impact.
Future L3 and L4 products will add total mass impacting per orbit and
impact rates (L3) and mass correlation with CIPS total particle mass and
Polar Mesospheric Cloud brightness.

For levels 1 and 2 only
Threshold in grams.
GPS time tag. Time of event in gps.
ID of the channel
Charge generated from each event
Mass of a particle that would cause this event.
Plus sigma for mass generated
Minus sigma for mass generated
Positional Information
Orbit number during which the event occurred.
SCIENCE indicates if the data number was interpolated outside of the bounds calibrated on the ground (approximately 63000-8000).
COINCIDENT returns 'COIN' or 'OK' for if another impact shares a timetag with the respective measurement.

THRUSTER returns 'TF' or 'OK' for if a thruster firing occurred within 1 second of the respective measurement.
PART_ANG quality flags return 'OVER', 'OK', or 'INVALID' for the angle limit of pi/4. PART_ANG is the angle of the particle's trajectory for a 1 micron particle with respect to zenith using a beta of 0.3 where beta is the ratio of radiation to gravitational force.
RAM_ANG quality flags return 'OVER', 'OK', or 'INVALID' for the angle limit of pi/4. RAM_ANG is the angle of the instrument's boresight with respect to the spacecraft's velocity.
