Methods for importing Helios data.
In general the data are available form a number of sources (replace ‘helios1’ with ‘helios2’ in url to change probe):
If the data is publically available, it will be dowloaded automatically if it doesn’t exist locally.
corefit (probe, starttime, endtime[, …]) |
Read in merged data set |
distparams (probe, starttime, endtime[, verbose]) |
Read in distribution parameters found in the header of distribution files. |
distparams_single (probe, year, doy, hour, …) |
Read in parameters from a single distribution function measurement. |
electron_dist_single (probe, year, doy, hour, …) |
Read in 2D electron distribution function. |
electron_dists (probe, starttime, endtime[, …]) |
Return 2D electron distributions between starttime and endtime |
integrated_dists (probe, starttime, endtime) |
Returns the integrated distributions from experiments i1a and i1b in Helios distribution function files. |
integrated_dists_single (probe, year, doy, …) |
Returns the integrated distributions from experiments i1a and i1b in Helios distribution function files. |
ion_dist_single (probe, year, doy, hour, …) |
Read in ion distribution function. |
ion_dists (probe, starttime, endtime[, …]) |
Return 3D ion distributions between starttime and endtime |
mag_4hz (probe, starttime, endtime[, …]) |
Read in 4Hz magnetic field data. |
mag_ness (probe, starttime, endtime[, …]) |
Read in 6 second magnetic field data. |
merged (probe, starttime, endtime) |
merged magnetic field and plasma data. |
