Source data are accessible freely online. Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) are available through the MMS repository. For the solar wind measurements, one can access the OMNI high-resolution repository.
Furthermore, to assist in the reproducibility process the datasets analyzed during the current study, along with instructions for generating each figure can be found in this repository.
MMSdata.mat contains measurements for all 4 MMS spacecraft. The moments are in burst mode of MMS while the magnetic field is in survey mode. The main format of the measurement is a TSeries (timeseries) object generated by the TSeries function of irfu-matlab.
Below you will find a short description of each timeseries object that is contained in the .mat file. However, we recommend that any reproduction attempt should carefully read the FPI user guide for more details.
- B1gse_mms1 - B1gse_mms4: Magnetic field measurements of the FGM instrument in survey mode for MMS1-4.
- Tipar1_mms1 - Tipar1_mms4: Parallel ion temperatures generated from the FPI instrument in burst mode for MMS1-4.
- Tiperp1_mms1 - Tiperp1_mms4: Perpendicular ion temperatures generated from the FPI instrument in burst mode for MMS1-4.
- ni1_mms1 - ni1_mms4: Ion number density from the FPI instrument in burst mode for MMS1-4.
- vi1gse_mms1 - vi1gse_mms4: Ion bulk flow velocity from the FPI instrument in burst mode for MMS1-4.
- Eispectomni1_mms1 - Eispectomni1_mms4: Omni-directional electron/ion energy spectrum from the FPI instrument in burst mode for MMS1-4.
- Ei1_mms1 - Ei1_mms4: Sky-map energy bin centers from the FPI instrument in burst mode for MMS1-4.
- iPDist_mms1 - iPDist_mms4: Sky-map instrument distribution for ions of the FPI instrument in burst mode for MMS1-4
- iPDist_error_mms1 - iPDist_error_mms4: Sky-map instrument distribution 1-sigma error for ions of the FPI instrument in burst mode for MMS1-4.
Furthermore, startepochtt and stopepochtt define the period of time (tint) in epoch format.
partial_moments_jet.mat is a structure containing the particle moments: density, bulk velocity, pressure, temperature, particle heat flux vector as TSeries'.
