Data Access and Tools for the Magnetospheric Multiscale Energetic Ion Spectrometer (and Others)

Abstract:

The Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission includes one Energetic Ion Spectrometer (EIS) detector on each of the four spacecraft measuring ion energy and composition for protons, Helium and Oxygen in the 10-1000 keV range. While it is not our primary measurement, we also produce electron spectra which can be used to provide context for some of our data modes and to cross calibrate with other instruments. EIS is currently returning exciting results from the magnetopause and the Van Allen belts and intervening regions.

We present an overview and explanation of the major public data products available, the tools used by the team for analysing these products and a sample of major EIS science results.

We also demonstrate how these same tools can be used with other similar data sets, in particular Juno/JEDI and Van Allen Probes/RBSPICE.
