Abstract:
DMSP SSJ/4 data provide a complete energy spectrum of the low energy particles that cause the aurora and other high latitude phenomena. The data set consists of electron and ion particle fluxes between 30 eV and 30 KeV recorded every second, satellite ephemeris and magnetic coordinated where the particles are likely to be absorbed by the atmosphere. Differential particle fluxes may be as large as 10 (10) at the lowest energies. The detectors also record high energy ions that penetrate both the satellite and the instrument. This is most noticeable in the South Atlantic Anomaly and the "horns" of the radiation belts. The SSJ.4 instrument was designed to measure the flux of charged particles as they enter the Earth's upper atmosphere from the near- Earth space environment. It consists of four electrostatic analyzers that record electrons and ions between 30 eV and 30 KeV as they flow past the spacecraft toward the Earth. The instruments "look" toward the satellite zenith. The curved plate detectors allow precipitating electrons and ions to enter through an aperture of about 2 x 10 (FWHM). Electrons and ions of the selected energy are deflected toward the target by an imposed electric field applied across the two plates. The two low energy detectors consist of 10 channels centered at 34, 49, 71, 101, 150, 218, 320, 460, 670, 960 KeV. The high energy detector measures particles in 10 channels centered at 1.0, 1.4, 2.1, 3.0, 4.4, 6.5, 9.5, 14.0, 20.5, and 29.5 KeV. Each detector dwells at each channel for 9.09 seconds from high energy channel to low. A complete cycle is sampled each second. The nominal response efficiency is 50% at a value of 10% of the central energy for that channel. The instruments are built by Emmanuel College under contract from the Space Physics Division of Phillips Laboratory and calibrated at Rice University. The National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) has received DMSP precipitating electron and ion data since March 1975 from sensors SSJ/2, SSJ/3, SSJ/4 and F11. Processed data from March 75 to December 92 were received from AFGWC on magnetic tape. Since March 9, 1992 we have received raw satellite data from the ARchive Processing System on 8 mm tapes. Archive tapes are organized by satellite-orbit and they contain an automated format statement, an inventory, header information for each orbit and data records. Each data record consists of the satellite ephemeris in geographic and geomagnetic coordinates and 4 one-second values in units of differential particle flux for the 40 channels. DMSP data can be downloaded through the Space Physics Interactive Data Resource (SPIDR) at http://spidr.ngdc.noaa.gov/spidr/index.html
