Shock Detectives: Classifying MMS Observations of Earth's Magnetosheath via Citizen Science - Dataset

This file contains the one-minute resolution dataset (“magnetosheath_classifications.csv”) for Toy-Edens et al.’s Shock Detectives: Classifying MMS Observations of Earth's Magnetosheath via Citizen Science. The one-minute resolution file contains the citizen scientist results for the two workflows (Quasi-parallel/perpendicular and Mixed) in both counts and ratios, measurements of the Svenningsson et al. 2025 features for comparison, and spacecraft positions (in GSE). We ask that if you use any parts of the dataset that you cite Toy-Edens et al.’s Shock Detectives: Classifying MMS Observations of Earth's Magnetosheath via Citizen Science (DOI to be created). This work was supported by NASA grant 80NSSC25K0153. The following tables detail the contents of the described files: magnetosheath_classifications.csv description Column Name Description Epoch Epoch in datetime (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS), all values span from this starting epoch to the next minute qpara_count Count of citizen scientists selecting this epoch as quasi-parallel in the Quasi-parallel/perpendicular workflow qpara_ratio Normalized ratio of citizen scientists selecting this epoch as quasi-parallel in the Quasi-parallel/perpendicular workflow (13 total citizen scientist selections per epoch) mixed_count Count of citizen scientists selecting this epoch as mixed (temporally) in the Mixed workflow mixed_ratio Normalized ratio of citizen scientists selecting this epoch as mixed (temporally) in the Mixed workflow (13 total citizen scientist selections per epoch) labeled_mixed Boolean if epoch is selected as mixed (temporally) using a combination of the Quasi-parallel/perpendicular and Mixed workflows. See paper for more information mean_sigma_b Mean of magnetic fluctuation parameter (sigma B; equation 1) for all rolling windows within 1 minute epoch. See paper for more information median_sigma_b Median of magnetic fluctuation parameter (sigma B; equation 1) for all rolling windows within 1 minute epoch. See paper for more information std_sigma_b Standard deviation of magnetic fluctuation parameter (sigma B; equation 1) for all rolling windows within 1 minute epoch. See paper for more information tempperp_temppara_ratio Mean of ratio between the perpendicular temperature to the parallel temperature within 1 minute epoch integrated_high_ion_energy The mean integrated ion omnidirectional flux for the highest 3 energy bins within 1 minute epoch r_gse_x Mean x position of the spacecraft (MMS1) in GSE within 1 minute epoch [km] r_gse_y Mean y position of the spacecraft (MMS1) in GSE within 1 minute epoch [km] r_gse_z Mean z position of the spacecraft (MMS1) in GSE within 1 minute epoch [km]
