' - "Rev., 71, 55, 1955). " - "Averages of phase-space " - "density (f) over key " - "regions of the unit sphere" - " (the set of all possible " - "electron velocity " - "directions) are computed " - "from 3s measurements which" - " are spaced either 6s or " - "12s in time. These " - "quantities are reliable " - "and citable with caution, " - "meaning that the PI " - "advises that the user " - "should discuss their " - "interpretations with a " - "member of the SWE science " - "team before " - "publishing...The following" - " comments are intended to " - "aid in the use and " - "interpretation of the " - "averages reported in this " - "data set. We begin this " - "analysis with a measure of" - " f for each pitch-angle " - "bin, six degrees in width," - " from 0 degrees (flux " - "nearly parallel to B) to " - "180 degrees (flux nearly " - "anti-parallel with B). " - "The f values for " - "pitch-angles from 0-90 " - "degrees (parallel " - "streaming) are integrated " - "(with angluar weighting " - "and assumptions of " - "gyrotropy) over this " - "half-sphere, then averaged" - " by dividing out the 2-pi " - "solid angle of the " - "half-sphere; the result " - "being referred to as the " - "'f_para' average. " - "Similarly, the 'f_perp' " - "(flux nearly perpendicular" - " to B) average is the " - "result of integrating f " - "for pitch-angles from " - "60-120 degrees (a region " - "also 2-pi in solid angle)." - " Next, the 'f_anti' (flux" - " nearly anti-parallel to " - "B) average covers the " - 'half-sphere of "backward" ' - "streaming electrons; " - "having pitch-angles from " - "90-180 degrees. Finally, " - "the 'f_omni' " - "(omni-directional) average" - " provides the integral of " - "f over the full sphere, " - "divided by the full 4-pi " - "solid angle; providing a " - "measure of total electron " - "flux into the region of " - "observation...The above " - "analysis is carried out " - "for each of 16 energy " - "channels ranging from " - "about 10 eV to as much as " - "3 keV. The exact energies" - " at which observations are" - " made is time-varying, and" - " this data set reports the" - " electron speeds each " - "channel observes (|V|, in " - "cm/s, along with the " - "observations themselves) " - "at any time. Hence the " - "data set reported here " - "contains: f_para, f_perp, " - "f_anti, f_omni (for each " - "of 16 values of |V|), and " - "the 16 values of |V| " - "(time-varying, although " - "usually much more slowly " - "than the order of a day).." } .
