DATA_SET_DESC = " Data Set Overview ================= The data from the ROSETTA PLASMA CONSORTIUM (RPC) Fluxgate Magnetometer(MAG)was submitted by Ingo Richter (TM) for the RPCMAG team. The PI of the team is Karl-Heinz Glassmeier. The data have been measured during the COMET ESCORT 4 Phase of ROSETTA. Included are the following sub-phases: MTP0022 - STP0079 from 2015-10-20T23:25 to 2015-10-27T23:25 MTP0022 - STP0080 from 2015-10-27T23:25 to 2015-11-03T23:25 MTP0022 - STP0081 from 2015-11-03T23:25 to 2015-11-10T23:25 MTP0022 - STP0082 from 2015-11-10T23:25 to 2015-11-17T23:25 MTP0023 - STP0083 from 2015-11-17T23:25 to 2015-11-24T23:25 MTP0023 - STP0084 from 2015-11-24T23:25 to 2015-12-01T23:25 MTP0023 - STP0085 from 2015-12-01T23:25 to 2015-12-08T23:25 MTP0023 - STP0086 from 2015-12-08T23:25 to 2015-12-15T23:25 MTP0024 - STP0087 from 2015-12-15T23:25 to 2015-12-22T23:25 MTP0024 - STP0088 from 2015-12-22T23:25 to 2015-12-29T23:25 MTP0024 - STP0089 from 2015-12-29T23:25 to 2016-01-05T23:25 MTP0024 - STP0090 from 2016-01-05T23:25 to 2016-01-12T23:25 All magnetic field data are calibrated, resampled data. That means the data represent the 3 components of the magnetic field measured in physical units (nT). Calibration has been applied according to the Ground calibration results which means: - temperature dependent offset calibration - temperature dependent sensitivity calibration - temperature dependent misalignment calibration Data are given in different coordinates, dependent on the calibration LEVEL. LEVEL_F : averaged data in s/c-coordinates Source of these data are LEVEL_B data. Bad vectors have been removed. Any s/c caused residual magnetic fields are not eliminated. The ground temperature model for the sensor calibration has been improved (expanded for a wider temperature range down to - 130 deg C) using long term temperature model obtained from flight data. The data are sorted by the sensor (OB: outboard sensor, IB: inboard sensor)and the measurement mode (M1..M6) and average interval (A, where n denotes the average interval in seconds). Data can uniquely be identified by their file names. Averaging means calculating a mean value of of the specified interval in time domain. It does not mean any mixing of data from the OB and IB sensor. Normally the OB is the Primary (Pri) and the IB is the Secondary (Sec) sensor. However, this order can be toggled by TCs. This feature has been tested especially during the commissioning phases. In cases where the PRIMARY and SECONDARY sensor were toggled the individual data files (OB/IB) will contain data measured with different sampling rates according to the actual sampling rates of the PRIMARY and SECONDARY sensors. Refer to the MODE DESCRIPTION table below. The actual sampling rate is the only indicator showing which sensor is the primary and which is the secondary one. REMARK: ======= Due to strong magnetic disturbance by the ORBITER, the magnetic field data are influenced by s/c generated magnetic fields. The source of these disturbance is manifold: - transient currents flowing on the spacecraft - Heater pulses - Thruster related magnetic field - Reaction wheel signatures - etc. Due to the complexity of these circumstances a proper data cleaning is an ongoing task. Thus the data of the present dataset still contain the mentioned disturbance signatures. Therefore, any use of the data for scientific research has to be done under consideration of these disturbances. REMARK ON TIMING ================ It turned out that the OB data are shifted against IB data and also against ROMAP data by 1s. This behavior has not been corrected in the data. Therefore, for proper comparison in high resolution analyses, a time shift of 1s should be subtracted from all OB data. Alternatively OB data can be left as they are and a 1s shift had to be added to the IB and ROMAP data.

These data will not be calibrated and are not for any purpose. FILENAME CONVENTION & Mode Coding =================================== Due to operational constraints it might happen that the instrument mode or the primary sensor has to be switched during a specific observation. The actual mode and the primary sensor of the instrument can easily be identified by analyzing the filename of the actual data files. The complete filename convention is listed in the EAICD, chapter 3.1.4. The filenames for RESAMPLED averaged data (CLF,CLG) are coded as follows: ___A. RPCMAG yymmdd CLF IB A60 LBL CLG OB TAB Example: RPCMAG040528_CLG_OB_A20.LBL RPCMAG040528_CLG_OB_A20.TAB Average denotes the time interval for one average period in seconds. The filenames for RESAMPLED Heater or Reaction Wheel influenced data (CLH) are coded as follows: ___. RPCMAG yymmddThhmm CLH IB M1..M6 LBL OB TAB Example: RPCMAG040528T1230_CLH_OB_M3.LBL RPCMAG040528T1230_CLH_OB_M3.TAB Geometry Information - Coordinate System ======================================== The geometry items SC_SUN_POSITION_VECTOR SC_TARGET_POSITION_VECTOR SC_TARGET_VELOCITY_VECTOR provided in the label of the data product are relative to the ECLIPJ2000 frame. This reference frame is built up by Ecliptic Coordinates related to Equinox of Epoch J2000.

Version Information =================== The actual version of this dataset is V6.0, the first being archived. " CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE = "This data set has the same structure as the former RPCMAG datasets obtained between 2004 and 2011. Those datasets have been reviewed by two independent teams in Spring 2012. After these reviews the datasets had been accepted by the Planetary Science Archive(PSA) of the ESA and by the Planetary Data System(PDS) of NASA for long-term archiving. A third review by european and US peers took place in February 2016. RPCMAG passed these reviews very well with with only some minor and editorial issues. All the required updates and changes due to this review were implemented in the present dataset. All data have been processed on best effort basis according to the procedures described in RO-IGEP-TR0028: ''Step by Step Calibration Procedure''. Quality flags are attached for CALIBRATED and RESAMPLED data as described in the EAICD RO-IGEP-TR0009. Both documents are available in the DOCUMENT directory."
