***************************************************************************************** Date: 23-April-2019 Who: S. W. Bougher General Details of MGITM datasets for MAVEN/NGIMS Winds Campaigns ***************************************************************************************** NGIMS Winds Campaigns (Roeten et al., 2019): ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Campaign Dates Orbits Season (Ls) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. September 22-23,2016 3861-3865 227-229 2. January 11-13, 2017 4437-4446 297-299 3. May 30 - June 1, 2017 5170-5179 12-13 4. December 7-8, 2017 6198-6202 97-98 5. February 7-9, 2018 6532-6541 126-127 ***************************************************************************************** MGITM Results are presented on a regular GEO grid (Longitude-Latitude-Altitude): ------------------------------------------------------------------------- LON (72 elements) = 2.5 to 357.5 by 5.0 degree interval (fastest index) LAT (36 elements) = -87.5 to +87.5 by 5.0 degree interval ALT (62 elements) = 98.75 to 251.25 km by 2.5 km interval (slowest index) where LON (2.5 to 180 to 357.5E) corresponds to SLT = 12 to 24 to 12 (We have selected the proper UT for each dataset for this match) Fields (17): -- Temperatures : Tn, Ti, Te (neutral, ion, electron) -- Major neutral densites : [CO2], [O], [N2], [CO], [O2] -- Major plasma densities : [O2+], [O+], [CO2+], [Ne] (dayside only, best in PCE region below 200 km) -- 3-component neutral winds: Un, Vn, Wn -- Pressure (total) : P -- Solar Zenith Angle : SZA Units = All Temperatures (K), All densities (#/m3), 3-component winds (m/s), Pressure (pascals), SZA (degrees) File Nomenclature: ------------------------------ mgitm.YYMMDD.utXX.MonthYear.dat YY = last 2-digits of year MM = 2-digit month DD = 2-digit day of month XX = Universal Time (on Earth): 2-digit integral hours MonthYear = NGIMS wind campaign case e.g. mgitm.160922.ut20.SEPT2016.dat YY = 16 MM = 09 DD = 22 XX = 20 MonthYear = SEPT2016 10-Files in the dataset for downloading: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- README.SEPT2016.DATACUBE.txt mgitm.160922.ut20.SEPT2016.dat README.JAN2017.DATACUBE.txt mgitm.170112.ut21.JAN2017.dat README.MAY2017.DATACUBE.txt mgitm.170531.ut14.MAY2017.dat README.DEC2017.DATACUBE.txt mgitm.171207.ut15.DEC2017.dat README.FEB2018.DATACUBE.txt mgitm.180208.ut7.FEB2018.dat FISM-Mars daily averaged solar EUV-UV fluxes (1-195 nm) used based upon MAVEN Extreme Ultraviolet Monitor (EUVM) instrument: Thiemann et al. (2017). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level 3 EUVM daily products used: v10_r01 (campaigns 1, 2), v11_r04 (campaigns 3, 4, 5) ***************************************************************************************** Specific Key References pertaining to MGITM Simulations and MAVEN NGIMS Winds: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bougher et al.
