ICON Level 3.2 O+ Ionosphere Is Now Available

Colin Triplett 0 11

The first of the ICON Level 3 products are now available: Level 3.2 O+ Ionosphere.  Each file contains 24 hours of ionospheric data merged from the EUV and FUV Level 2 (L2.5 and L2.6) data products.  All data are interpolated onto a common altitude grid. The FUV data use a weighted mean of values only within the central four stripes to match the EUV 12-degree horizontal field of view.  All data flagged as bad have been removed.  Files contain HmF2, NmF2, and O+ profiles for a 24-hour period.
 
These files can be found for the whole of the ICON mission at both the ICON FTP site and SPDF.

ICON Mission Operations Update #8 - New EUV Level 1 products and revised Level 2 retrievals

Level 2 version unchanged for now

Dr. Thomas Immel 0 1112

The EUV Level 1 (L1) product containing EUV limb radiances has been updated to V3. This resolves primarily remaining issues with flatfielding. The Level 2 (L2) products are now re-run using these L1 inputs. The retrieval algorithm hasn't changed but the revision number has been indexed on the L2 products. This now extends the L2 products into 2021.

Mission Operations Update #3

Winds and UV products all published

Dr. Thomas Immel 0 1492

The MIGHTI 2.1 Line-of-Sight winds and 2.2 Cardinal winds have been updated to v4 and are now available out to November 13 2020. The version resolves a disagreement between the green and red winds that became apparent in the June 2020 timeframe, and extends the set.
