Anisotropy

• PSP_SWP_SPI_SF00_L3_MOM

  • Notes: Partial moments of the Proton distribution function in the SPAN-Ion instrument, PSP spacecraft, and RTN coordinate systems. User should be aware that the full ion distribution is typically NOT in the FOV of the instrument.

  • T_TENSOR Partial Moment Temperature Tensor in instrument frame

• WI_H0_SWE

  • Te_anisotropy Temperature anisotropy = Te_para / Te_perp

• WI_PLSP_3DP

  • MOM.P.MAGT3 —> [P.SYMM_MAGT3] Proton temperature tensor… rotated into a field-aligned coordinate basis and then taking the diagonal elements only

• WI_ELM2_3DP : Wind 3dp, PESA Low (~24 sec resolution) energy spectra with ion moments

  • MAGT3 —> [MAGT3] electron temperature tensor… rotated into a field-aligned coordinate basis and then taking the diagonal elements only

• THB_L2_ESA

  • thb_peeb_magt3Q —–Electron Temperature, Field Aligned (Tprp1FA, Tprp2FA, TparFA)

  • thb_peef_magt3Q —–Electron Temperature, Field Aligned (Tprp1FA, Tprp2FA, TparFA)

  • thb_peif_magt3Q —–Temperature, Field Aligned (TprpFA1, TprpFA2, TparFA)

• THB_L2_MOM

  • thb_peem_ptens_magQ —–Electron Pressure Tensor, Field Aligned

  • thb_peem_t3_magQ —–Electron Temperature, Field Aligned (TprpFA1, TprpFA2, TparFA)
