A Union of Inner Magnetosphere Data from the Van Allen Probes and Related Missions at NASA's Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF)
Abstract
A wide range of current, public, science-quality particle and field data from the Van Allen Probes and related missions is being ingested, archived and served to the international science community by SPDF. As an active heliophysics archive, SPDF now serves some eighty Level-2 (and increasingly Level-3) data products that fully span the range of measurements from particles-plasma (RBSPICE, ECT) through magnetic-electric fields and waves (EMFISIS, EFW). This coherent collection of mission data, in a standard format (CDF) with standard metadata, is available through SPDF's CDAWeb user interface, CDAWeb's web services and associated APIs for IDL and Matlab users, as well as through direct FTP/HTTP download access supplemented with orbit displays through our SSCWeb and 4D Orbit Viewer services and HDP/VSPO direct links to investigator sites/resources. With the dedicated work of the project and instrument teams, these data products are of increasingly high quality and typically current within 2 months or less. Having this range of data in CDAWeb makes comparison of data among instruments and spacecraft much easier, as well as comparisons and analysis of these data with current data from other missions including THEMIS, TWINS, Cluster, ACE, Wind and now >120 ground magnetometer stations. In addition, SPDF supports data from the BARREL Antarctic balloon program and recent data from instruments on the NOAA GOES spacecraft. SPDF will also support public data from the MMS mission when launched in later 2014.
