Description
Autoplot (Faden et al., 2010) configuration (.vap) files
Two Autoplot configuration files are available:
3Dview (Génot et al., 2018) files
- icme-skr-3dview.mov: 3Dview generated movie, showing the Cassini trajectory during the studied interval. The Cassini/MAG magnetic field vector is plotted along the trajectory, with a rainbow color map for the magnetic field amplitude. The received SKR RH integrated power time series (on the 10 to 1000 kHz band) is also plotted along the trajectory, in the orbit plane, with a white-blue color map for the power values. The magnetopause location is also displayed, using the (Kanani et al., 2010) model, with the dynamic pressure input provided by 3dview from (Tao et al., 2005).
- icme-skr-3dview.3dv: 3Dview configuration file to reproduce icme-skr-3dview.mov.
TOPCAT (Taylor, 2005) files
- README.txt: Details on how to use the following files.
- ENLIL-AMDA.txt: A STILTS script that can be used to reproduce figure 6.
- ENLIL-AMDA-extended.txt: A STILTS script that can be used to reproduce figure 6, with an extended time span (90 days instead of 30 days).
- ENLIL-AMDA.fits: A TOPCAT session FITS file containing several tables: (i) the ENLIL solar wind parameters from the CCMC modelling run; (ii) the 1D-MHD propagated solar wind parameters (Tao et al., 2005); (iii) the SKR emitted power of its RH component, from the Cassini/RPWS/SKR dataset (Lamy et al., 2009), with a temporal resolution of 600 seconds; (iv) the same dataset with a resolution of 6000 seconds; and (v) the measured magnetic field (Dougherty et al., 2004), with a 60 seconds temporal resolution. Datasets (ii) to (v) have been transferred from AMDA to TOPCAT thanks to the SAMP protocol (Génot et al., 2014; Taylor et al., 2015). Upon loading this file into TOPCAT, a set of predefined data selections and computed variables will be available to the user.
- ENLIL-AMDA.xml: The same content as in the previous item, exported from TOPCAT using VOTable format.
