Data Set Overview
    =================
    This dataset contains the plasma electron density derived from
    electric field mutual impedance spectra measured by RPC-MIP in active
    modes for ESC2 (COMET ESCORT 2) mission phase,
    between 2015/03/11 and 2015/06/30.

    Derived data collected in this dataset are referred as CODMAC Level 5
    products.

    Data
    ====
    RPC-MIP plasma electron density is obtained by on-ground analysis of
    RPC-MIP spectra acquired when RPC-MIP operated in active modes (SDL
    and LDL).

    Automatic algorithms have been developed to extract characteristics
    features from spectra. These features are related to plasma signatures
    and enabled in certain conditions to derive the plasma frequency and
    therefore the plasma electron density. Different algorithms have been
    developed to adapt the different operational modes of the instrument
    and to account for instrumental limitations (specific to each operation
    mode).

    While derived electron density is believed to be of sufficient quality
    for science use, false detections or misinterpretations cannot be
    avoided.

    The user is invited to use these data with caution and always consider
    quality values associated to density values.

    A more detailed description of the plasma electron density dataset can
    be found in the documentation enclosed in the dataset.

    Processing
    ==========
    Only CODMAC Level 5 data are present in this data set.

Data confidence is nominal, meaning that
                             all data have been validated by the
                             scientific team and found as expected.
                             Furthermore, a record varying quality factor
                             is provided for each derived parameter.
