HallConductance: Altitude integrated Hall Conductance from 85-150 km altitude, [ntime], mho
PedersenConductance: Altitude integrated Pedersen Conductance from 85-150 km, [ntime], mho
EnergyFlux: Energy flux after integrating the differential number flux, [ntime], W/m^2
AverageEnergy: Average Energy after integrating the differential number flux, [ntime], eV
Measured_ElectronDensity: measured electron density from PFISR, [ntime, naltitude], #/m^3
Modeled_ElectronDensity: modeled electron density produced by the MEM version, [ntime,naltitude], #/m^3
UnixTime: time in seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UT, [ntime], seconds
NumberFlux: differential number flux, [ntime, nenergy], #/m^2 s^-1 eV^-1
EnergyGrid: energy grid spanning 1 keV - 100 keV in 25 steps, [nenergy], eV
ASIStatus: auroral identification number, [ntime], no units
1: Discrete aurora
2: Diffuse aurora
3: Pulsating aurora
8: Unidentified aurora
-1: data that was flagged as unsuitable:
either TEC was too low (no auroral E-region possibly associated with red aurora),
the modeled electron density was not consistent at all with the observed electron density (bad fit)

ASIYEAR-Final_date.xlsx
This is an excel file that contains the original auroral image identification near the zenith direction
We used all sky imager videos located: http://optics.gi.alaska.edu/realtime/data/MPEG/PKR_DASC_256/
These files were converted into python pickle files and used internally for the rest of the investigation.

The columns corresponds to days, and the rows correspond to time in UT as decimal hours:
The ASI Key is the following:
# 1    Discrete
# 2    Diffuse
# 3    Pulsating
# 4    Cloudy/Clear
# 5    Moon
# 6    Possible faint Aurora with moon out
# 7    Substorm Breakup
# 8    Cloudy with aurora (can't make out type)
