ICON Level 3.2 O+ Ionosphere Is Now Available

Colin Triplett 0 16

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 Temperatures Updated to Version 6, Now Available

Colin Triplett 0 75

The MIGHTI temperature product (L2.3) has been updated to version 6 (v06) and is currently available for the full mission on the ICON FTP site and at SPDF. 

With this version update, the MIGHTI-A and MIGHTI-B temperature data are both more rigorously tested to ensure continuity across the solar terminator. Also, the top of the daytime MIGHTI-A temperature profiles is now 135 km, up from 127 km in previous versions. Links to the data products are provided here:

A data browser developed by Dr. Yen-Jung Wu here at SSL allows you to make plots of ICON data very quickly, and once the data are plotted provides a quick link to the file at the NASA repository. 

 

New - ICON Data Documentation Online

PDMP and CMAD collect a lot of information in one place.

Dr. Thomas Immel 0 446

The ICON Project Data Management Plan (PDMP) is available online. This 350 page document was updated for and submitted with the ICON Senior Review proposal.  It describes the content of all data files available on out own FTP site and the NASA SPDF archive.

The ICON Calibration and Measurement Algorithms Document (or CMAD) is also available online. This is a historically prescribed title for a document that is now required of all NASA missions. It is created newly for ICON for the senior review, weighs in at 180 pages, and describes the data processing algorithms used in the ICON Science Data Center.
