INGV CSES-01 electron density and temperature maps
==================================================

.. contents:: The tiny table of contents

Electron density and temperature maps in quasi-dipole latitude vs magnetic longitude derived from the CSES-01 satellite data acquired from 1 January 2019 to 30 September 2021. The output consists in four .jpg or .png files mapping electron density and temperature in equatorial projection in the dayside and the nightside (2 images for density, 2 for temperature). Each map has a size of about 200 kB. No sample file attached.

* “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.

* “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.
