Details of the Radiation Belt Storm Probes Ion Composition Experiment (RBSPICE) Science Operations Center (SOC) and Data Products
Abstract
The Van Allen Probes Mission includes the Radiation Belt Storm Probes Ion Composition Experiment (RBSPICE) ring current particle detector. This instrument makes in-situ observations of the Proton spectra (20 KeV thru 532 KeV), Helium spectra (33 KeV thru 584 KeV), Oxygen spectra (123 KeV thru 584 KeV), generic ion spectra (20 KeV thru 9.5 MeV), and electron spectra (20 KeV thru 10 MeV), as well as particle pitch angle distributions. While the primary target of the RBSPICE instrument is the ring current, the instrument operates through all aspects of the orbit of each spacecraft except for about two hours around perigee. This poster presents an overview of the RBSPICE Science Operations Center (SOC) and the high level data products produced and available online. We also provide details on how to access the data, plots, and analysis tools. Additionally, we will provide details of measurements taken during several recent 2013 geomagnetic storms (March 17 and May 22).
