Description

Integrated intensity is calculated in two frequency bands, 100-650 kHz (approximately the main AKR band) and 30-100 kHz (approximately the low-frequency extension band). These are chosen to match the frequency bands used by Waters et al (2022). The user is cautioned that AKR intensity depends strongly on spacecraft local time, as shown by Fogg et al (2022) and Waters et al (2022).

Data Format

Data is available as CSV files.
