10 min: New methods for quick access to Polar magnetometer data
Examples of the HYDRA approach to providing "quick-look" B information can
be found in the processed spectrograms located at
http://www-st.physics.uiowa.edu/www/html/meeting_20011221/.
This format would become the standard at HYDRA's public spectrogram site.
The examples illustrate some what you can see from this format and illustrate some of the issues to be wary of.
All angles are in GSM. The dotted line at 90 corresponds to the equator. The average trace of the angles (in black) is the result of a 2 spin average of the unit vector. When the variance is detectable on the angles it shows as a different colored "fuzz" backlighting the mean trace.
A good example of this is May 4, 1998, where we went back and played dumb and used our onboard angles to make this synthetic product.
As you can see, in weak fields the variance due to UNCORRECTED offsets can give a perceptible angular error, while in strong fields the error on the angles, while there, is smaller than the width of the trace.
Negative thetas and gt 180 thetas accommodate circumstances where the data is near the pole and the variance cone might straddle the pole... A similar issue is involved in the phi angle when the mean field direction is near the sun line...
Notice the other interesting things to be seen, including PC waves like on 12/14/2001 between 0400 and 0800, that stand out quite nicely.
