TIDE data for the July 14-16 interval

As with many of the particle instruments, TIDE observations were saturated during the energetic particle portion of the July 14-16 interval. See overview image below.

Saturation begins at approximately 1100UT on July 14th and continues to approximately 1815UT on July 15th.

Usable data are available from

  • 1815UT to 2230UT 15July2000:
  • 2230UT 15July2000 to 0415UT 16July2000: Ion outflow at high altitudes
  • 0325UT to 0415UT 16July2000: Perigee pass with downflowing O+ and outflowing conics


  • At Pergiee, there are two general plasma populations, cold nightside downflows and later the in pass, more energetic outflowing conics

    Look at the high altitude outflow - some of these measurements are taken when LENA has interesting data:
