draft Guide to IMPACT Resources

The In-situ Measurements of Particles and CME Transients (IMPACT) webpages contain a variety of information for potential users of the data. Below are some links to some specific resources that are currently available for browsing, downloading, and plotting IMPACT data.

The IMPACT instruments are described here.

Data for each of the IMPACT instruments:

• SWEA (Solar Wind Electron Analyzer):
  • Level 2 pitch angle distributions (PADs), moments, and core density proxy data can be found here.
  • Level 1 full 3D distributions can be found here.
• STE (Suprathermal Electron Telescope): Level 1 fluxes can be found here.
• MAG (Magnetometer):
  • Level 1 magnetic field ascii data and plots as well as merged magnetic field and solar wind data from PLASTIC can be found here.
  • Level 1 magnetic field data in CDF format can be found here.
• SEPT (Solar Electron Proton Telescope):
  • Level 2 browse plots can be found here.
  • Level 1 data can be found here.
• SIT (Suprathermal Ion Telescope):
  • Level 2 ascii data (at several time resolutions) and plots can be found here.
  • Level 1 cdf data at full (1m) time resolution can be found here.
• LET (Low Energy Telescope):
  • Level 2 ascii data (at several time resolutions), plots, movies and event lists can be found here.
  • Level 1 cdf data at full (1m) time resolution can be found here.
• HET (High Energy Telescope):
  • Level 2 ascii data (at several time resolutions) and plots can be found here.
  • Level 1 cdf data at full (1m) time resolution can be found here.

Level 3 event lists are available here.

Real-time solar wind beacon plots are available here.
