This page provides information about RPW public data releases.
About RPW data release philosophy
RPW public data are released by LESIA on daily basis. Only L0/L1/L2 data older than 90 days are freely accessible. If a public data file needs to be re-processed, the new version is made available within 48 hours following its generation.
The release notes below gives the history of the RPW public data, which have been re-processed during the mission (i.e., except for the first delivery on September 2020, "release" and "re-processing" terms are equivalent in these notes).
Only main changes relevant for the science community are reported in the tables for each products. For a detailed modification history, including technical updates, please read the software changelog in ROC gitlab site (restricted access).
The first version of RPW data file is always generated with a sequence number "V01" (corresponding to the "Data_version" global attribute's entry in the CDF). This number is incremented each time a new version of the file is produced. For a given data product and release, public files can hence have different version numbers.
Make sure to always use the file with the highest sequence number.
N.B. Official data providers (LESIA, ESAC, NASA, CDPP) will always supply as a first choice the latest version of the RPW data products.
