收藏资源简介：
This dataset is a compilation of statistical results from Gabrielse et al. [2018] (https://doi.org/10.1029/2018JA025440). If you would like to use the dataset, please contact Christine Gabrielse (cgabrielse@ucla.edu, cgabrielse@gmail.com). Depending on how the results are used, the main authors request co-authorship on publications. The following list describes the columns in each data file labeled, ***_FLOW-DATA-PCvsAO_YYYY.txt <br> Files named ***_FLOW-DATA-PCvsAO_YYYY_poleward.txt are for poleward-directed flows. <br> Each text file is for a different year (YYYY). <br> AO=auroral oval<br> PC=polar cap time [YYYYMMDDhhmmss]<br> flagAO [-1=flow could not be observed. 0=flow could be observed, but was not. 1=flow was observed]<br> flagPC [-1=flow could not be observed. 0=flow could be observed, but was not. 1=flow was observed]<br> FWHMavg_AO [degrees]<br> FWHMkmavg_AO=[km]<br> longtestranges=[ignore]<br> Velmaxavg_AO=[m/s, actual average of max V in each range gate used]<br> VelmaxFITavg_AO=[m/s, determined from the Gaussian fits]<br> FWHMavg_PC=[degrees]<br> FWHMkmavg_PC=[km]<br> Velmaxavg_PC=[m/s, actual average of max V in each range gate used]<br> VelmaxFITavg_PC=[m/s, determined from the Gaussian fits]<br> ;;For the bearings/orientation, see the orientation text files.
