The near-real-time record of the MINIS flights which used to be at this URL can be found here.


Figures, data and code from Gar Bering, UH
Robyn Millan's very snazzy Dartmouth Balloon Group page, which contains a link to her MINIS data page. The latter will contain much more soon, but right now features smaller versions of these figures:

MINIS North balloon trajectories

MINIS South balloon trajectories


Document on calculating x-ray detector gain by Michael McCarthy, UW
SAMPEX plots from 1/21 and 1/25 from Paul O'Brien, Aerospace Corp.
Plots and pictures from Michael Kokorowski, including:

Southern payload orientations (powerpoint)

E field boom separation (excel)

Cedar/Gem poster (powerpoint)

Some nice campaign/payload/launch pictures (jpg)

Some sample E field data plots (pdf) In case this doesn't work, you can go directly to his homepage.


Semi-despun horizontal magnetic field plots from payloads S2 and S3 during our biggest precipitation events. Note the bay is there in both but looks sharper in one -- are we mapping out the electrojet? The bay starts just as our main precipitation *ends*. This is Bx^2 + By^2 with a kludge to take out the residual sinusoid. -David.
