Multi-scale coupling during magnetopause reconnection: interface between the electron and ion diffusion regions

Output in IDL-save format from four frames of the two particle-in-cell simulations used in the manuscript. See manuscript (Appendix C) for simulation set-up. Unless otherwise specified, each of the following variables are given as NxM matrices, where N is the number of grid cells per row (X axis) and M is the number per column (Z axis). Among other variables, the data files named "frame#.sav" contain the following items, used in the paper:

E[i]: the i (X, Y, or Z) component of the electric field vector

B[i]: the i (X, Y, or Z) component of the magnetic field vector

Ay: the Y component of the magnetic vector potential

V[s][i]: the i (X, Y, or Z) component of the bulk velocity of species s (ions or electrons)

den[s]: the number density of species s

xx: N-element vector of the x location of each grid cell

zz: M-element vector of the z location of each grid cell

One other file, named "frame38_P.sav", gives each of the 6 unique elements of the ion and electron pressure tensor with the variables named as P[s][i][j], where i and j are X, Y, or Z and s is either i for ions or e for electrons.
