EPT T3h L0.1 2026 [01-02]
Electron fluxes observed by the EPT between June and July 2025. In this file, the data was averaged on L (the McIlwain parameter) and in time (3h). The fluxes are thus averaged in bins of L and time.
The dataset has the following structure: Coordinates:
- name - type - size - min - max - description.
- time_center - datetime64[ns] - 460 - 2026-01-01T16:30:00 - 2026-02-28T01:30:00 - center of the time bins.
- time_edges - datetime64[ns] - 461 - 2025-06-01T15:00:00 - 2025-08-01T03:00:00 - edges of the time bins.
- L_center - float64 - 90 - L=1.05 - L=9.95 - center of the L bins.
- L_edges - float64 - 91 - L=1 - L=10 - edges of the L bins.
- energy_center - float64 - 6 - E=0.55 MeV - E=5.2 MeV - center of the EPT energy channels.
- energy_edges - float64 - 7 - E=0.5 MeV - E=8.0 MeV - edges of the EPT energy channels.(note in the dataset the last energy channel edge is 2.5 MeV but it should be 8.0 MeV)
Data variables:
- name - type - (coordinates) - (size)
- data - (time_center, L_center, energy_center) - (460, 90, 6). averaged electron fluxes in the L-Time bins.
Note: For python users, we recommand using the 'xarray' library to read the dataset easily.
