Polar TIMAS H0 High-resolution Level 1 Data

Description

Mass resolved ion energy angle spectra covering nearly the full 4pi solid angle and the energy range 15 eV/q to 33 eV/q. H+, O+, He+ and He++ number fluxes and statistical uncertainties processed by the TIMAS science team. Data acquired with various angular and energy resolutions are combined here. Data Quality and other indicators are provided to allow selection of high resolution data (PA_status(ion)=0 and Energy_status(ion)=0 ) and High Quality data (Quality=0). See caveats for the following variables for more detailed information: Quality, PA_status, Energy_status Bcr, Fec, Even_odd, Energy_Range_ID and Spins. Reference:E.G. Shelley et al., The Toroidal Imaging Mass-Angle Spectrograph (TIMAS) for the Polar Mission, Sp. Sci. Rev, Vol 71, pp 497-530, 1995. Version 0: December, 1997 Version 1: July, 1998 Version 2: December, 2000 Algorithm improved to more accurately subtract backgrounds arising from spill over from H+ into He++ channel and other sources. Fill data are now inserted for limited energy and pitch angle ranges for Flux_H Flux_O Flux_He_1 and Flux_He_2 variables. The meanging of values of the of Quality variable was slightly modified. Version 3: June, 2002 Algorithm for V_02 had an error that resulted in under estimation of fluxes in high count regions, i.e. the cusp/cleft and radiation belts. V_03 corrects this error and has been expanded to include calculation of fluxes obtained after December 8, 1998, when TIMAS had a damaging high voltage breakdown that resulted in reduced sensitivity.
