This collection supplements: Wu et al. (2023), What can be deduced from the High Frequency Limit of Saturn’s Kilometric Radiation. J. Geophys. Res., (Submitted)
Raw text files
The collection is composed of three text files containing the northern and southern High Frequency Limit (HFL) for the Saturn kilometric radiation (SKR) as observed in Cassini/RPWS/HFR data:
Reading the raw data
Python code to load the data:
from astropy.time import Time
from astropy.units import Unit
import numpy
with open("SKRHFLderived_time_Format_t1997_v0830.txt", 'r') as f:
t = f.readline()
t = numpy.array(t.split(), dtype=float)
t = Time('1997-01-01') + (t - 1) * Unit('d')
print(f'Time range: {t[0].iso} to {t[-1].iso}')
with open("SKRHFLderived_HFL_N_v0830.txt", 'r') as f:
n = f.readline()
n = numpy.array(n.split(), dtype=float) * Unit('kHz')
with open("SKRHFLderived_HFL_S_v0830.txt", 'r') as f:
s = f.readline()
s = numpy.array(s.split(), dtype=float) * Unit('kHz')Time range : 2004-01-01 to 2017-09-15
Spectral range : 98.9 kHz to 1.29 MHz
Location: Saturn
