Data for "Variation in the Pedersen Conductance near Jupiter's Main Emission Aurora: Comparison of Hubble Space Telescope and Galileo Measurements"

This data archive contains the intermediate data products for the work "Variation in the Pedersen Conductance near Jupiter's Main Emission Aurora: Comparison of Hubble Space Telescope and Galileo Measurements" by M. J. Rutala et al.

This data archive consists of two datasets: one derived from Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of Jupiter's aurorae (HSTAuroralData_Rutala_etal_2024.csv) and one derived from Galileo/PLS measurements of Jupiter's magnetospheric plasma (GalileoPLSData_Rutala_etal_2024.csv).

The format for HSTAuroralData_Rutala_etal_2024.csv is as follows:
