This page provides information about RPW data change log.

September 2020

First public release of RPW science data (survey data only, no SBM data).

Initial versions of software used to generated science data (L2) were:

  • THR_CALBAR V2.2.3
  • TDS_CALBA V0.9.6
  • LFR_CALBUT V1.3.0
  • SCMCAL V0.12.1
  • BICAS V3.1.0


March 2021

First full re-processing of RPW L0/L1/L2 data (survey data only, no SBM data).

Data productData modificationsSoftware nameSoftware version
SOLO_L2_RPW-TNR-SURV
  • NEW calibration procedure -- factor 2 in the voltage V0 (input voltage for the calibration)
  • Corrections on max/min in gattrs writing; remove gattrs1 from antennas_params
  • Variable FREQUENCY added
THR_CALBAR2.3.3
SOLO_L2_RPW-HFR-SURV
  • NEW calibration procedure -- added 2 dB to V0 due to the 75 ohm cable as observed in the BW test on ground
THR_CALBAR2.3.3
SOLO_L2_RPW-LFR-SURV-ASM
  • Reads the validity file from each team to obtain the calibration filename to use.
LFR_CALBUT1.5.5
SOLO_L2_RPW-LFR-SURV-BP1
  • Calibration improved.
  • Now BP1 are divided by ASM frequencies.
  • Days with only burst mode are now correctly computed.
  • Reads the validity file from each team to obtain the calibration filename to use.
LFR_CALBUT1.5.5
SOLO_L2_RPW-LFR-SURV-BP2
  • Calibration improved at F2 frequencies. Now BP1 are divided by ASM frequencies.
  • Days with only burst mode are now correctly computed.
  • Reads the validity file from each team to obtain the calibration filename to use.
LFR_CALBUT1.5.5
SOLO_L1R_RPW-LFR-SURV-CWF-B, SOLO_L1R_RPW-LFR-SURV-SWF-B
  • Update Global Attributes.
LFR_CALBUT1.5.5
SOLO_L1R_RPW-LFR-SURV-CWF-E, SOLO_L1R_RPW-LFR-SURV-SWF-E
  • No update
LFR_CALBUT1.5.5
SOLO_L2_RPW-LFR-SURV-CWF-E, SOLO_L2_RPW-LFR-SURV-SWF-E
  • Zero order AC data de-trending (remove mean; previously removed linear fit), but no AC data re-trending. This removes earlier artificial offsets and artificial linear components, in particular in snapshots.
  • Using improved fits and extrapolations of the BIAS AC transfer functions, in particular for low frequencies.
  • Using modified inverted transfer functions for AC data below 7 Hz (constant gain) to prevent low frequency noise from being amplified.
  • Sets quality variables based on manually identified thruster firings.
  • Better CDF standards compliance.
BICAS5.0.0
