Ion Test Particle Simulations: Steady Southward IMF

Ion test particle simulations for the Frontiers article "Overlapping Cusp Ion Dispersions formed by Flux Ropes on the Day-side Magnetopause." Output cadence is 5 seconds. Output variables are particle [x,y,z] location, energy, logical isIn (whether the particle is within the simulation domain), and pitch angle. Only those particles which hit the inner boundary were saved. File format is Matlab .mat file. A script is included to generate synthetic satellite observations in the northern cusp. The global MHD simulation in which the test particles were integrated is archived at https://zenodo.org/records/7675548 (simulation 2).
