EDR and Regular Magnetopause Crossing Data

Dataset of 225 dayside magnetopause (MP) current sheet crossings identified by the Paschmann et al. 2018 MMS magnetopause database and previously utilized in Beedle et al. 2022, as well as 26 dayside electron diffusion region (EDR) MP crossings identified by Webster et al. 2018. The 225 dayside MP crossings are referred to as "regular" magnetopause crossings as they represent either crossings of the reconnection exhausts downstream of the diffusion regions, or crossings of the non-reconnection magnetopause. The regular crossings were taken from 4 years of MMS transits from 2015 to 2018 across the dayside magnetopause. These 225 regular crossings include only monotonic, complete magnetopause crossings or clear Harris sheet like events. The regular events were from the MMS magnetopause crossing database created by Goetz Paschmann and Stein Haaland, and further developed by the International Space Science Institute Team 442, “Study of the physical processes in magnetopause and magnetosheath current sheets using a large MMS database” as analyzed in the paper Paschmann et al. 2018. Each of these events, both regular and EDR, were then analyzed using an algorithm that identified their MP current sheet crossings, with the current data recorded stored over each of the crossings. Additionally, we recorded averaged ion and electron data over each respective MP crossing as well.
