INGV CSES-01 on track values of electron density and temperature
================================================================

.. contents:: The tiny table of contents

Yearly and orbital data from LAP instrument onboard CSES-01 from 1 January 2019 to 30 September 2021 (based on availability of continuous data).

Each file contains 5 columns: 

#. UTC (ISO format); 

#. Geographic Latitude (deg); 

#. Geographic Longitude (deg); 

#. electron density (m^-3); 

#. electron temperature (K) with variable sampling (1.5 Hz and 3 Hz).

Sub-Sub-folders:

* “csv”: Yearly and orbital .csv data. 

* “FIGURE”: Statistical maps of electron density and temperature in .fits format. Maps are available at two spatial resolutions: 1x1 deg^2 (high resolution) and 5x5 deg^2 (low resolution). For practical purposes use low-resolution maps. High-resolution maps are tagged, e.g., “Ne_DAY\_…”. Low-resolution maps are tagged, e.g., “Ne_Mean_DAY\_…”. In both cases the mean value within each bin is representative of the bin itself.

* “nc”: Orbital netCDF data.

* “npy”: Statistical maps of electron density and temperature in .npy format. Maps are available at two spatial resolutions: 1x1 deg^2 (high resolution) and 5x5 deg^2 (low resolution). For practical purposes use low-resolution maps. High-resolution maps are tagged, e.g., “Ne_DAY\_…”. Low-resolution maps are tagged, e.g., “binned_5x5_Ne…_DAY…”. Maps are available with two different values representative of each bin: the mean and the median, respectively.
