Geotail

The routines in this module can be used to load data from the Geotail mission.

Instruments

  • Magnetic Field Experiment (MGF)
  • Electric Field Detector (EFD)
  • Low Energy Particle experiment (LEP)
  • Comprehensive Plasma Instrumentation (CPI)
  • Energetic Particles and Ion Composition Instrument (EPIC)
  • Plasma Wave Instrument (PWI)

Examples

Get started by importing pyspedas and tplot; these are required to load and plot the data:

import pyspedas
from pytplot import tplot

Magnetic Field Experiment (MGF)

mgf_vars = pyspedas.geotail.mgf(trange=['2018-11-5', '2018-11-6'])

tplot(['IB', 'IB_vector'])

Electric Field Detector (EFD)

efd_vars = pyspedas.geotail.efd(trange=['2018-11-5', '2018-11-6'])

tplot(['Es', 'Ss', 'Bs', 'Vs', 'Ew', 'Sw', 'Bw', 'Vw'])

Low Energy Particle experiment (LEP)

lep_vars = pyspedas.geotail.lep(trange=['2018-11-5/05:00', '2018-11-5/06:00'], time_clip=True)

tplot(['N0', 'V0'])

Comprehensive Plasma Instrumentation (CPI)

cpi_vars = pyspedas.geotail.cpi(trange=['2018-11-5/15:00', '2018-11-5/18:00'], time_clip=True)

tplot(['SW_P_Den', 'SW_P_AVGE', 'SW_V', 'HP_P_Den'])

Energetic Particles and Ion Composition Instrument (EPIC)

epic_vars = pyspedas.geotail.epic(trange=['2018-11-5', '2018-11-6'])

tplot('IDiffI_I')

Plasma Wave Instrument (PWI)

pwi_vars = pyspedas.geotail.pwi(trange=['2018-11-5/06:00', '2018-11-5/07:00'], time_clip=True)

tplot(['MCAE_AVE', 'MCAB_AVE'])
