Performance Evaluation of CIMI Electron Precipitation during Geomagnetic Storms with the Introduction of Multiple Reflections

For CIMI 100 km altitude precipitation files, the file name format is 2013w151_e_N_24.txt The file name indicates the year 2013 'w' stands for With Multiple Reflection (WMR), If it was 'n', it will stand for No Multiple Reflection (NMR) 151 is the day of year. For 2013, it was May 31. So the simulation started at 0 UT, May 31. '_e_' indicates this file has electron precipitation data. 'N' indicates the northern hemisphere. '24' indicates 24th simulation hour from the start of simulation. So if the simulation started at 0 UT, May 31, 24th hour indicates 0 UT, June 1. The file provides CIMI energy and particle fluxes at loss cone altitudes at 24th hour of simulation (0 UT, June 1, 2013 as simulation starts from 0 UT, May 31, 2013)Row 3-5: energy channels (keV) for CIMI. After the rows where the values of mlat, mlt, mlon, area, mc, Bi are specified, energy and particle fluxes are provided for corresponding mlat, mlon for all energy channels mentioned in row 3-5.Similarly 2013w151_e_N_29.txt provides the same for 29th hour (5 UT, June 1, 2013) For CIMI electron precipitation at DMSP orbits, the file name format is 2013w151_dm016_e.flux The file provides CIMI particle flux at DMSP altitudes for all DMSP energy channels inside 500-30000 eV, with the particle flux for the lowest energy channel (646 eV or 0.646 keV) at the left for every record. Total number of records (one minute interval), and number of energy channels (ipos, ie, respectively) are mentioned at the top of each file. The file name indicates the year 2013 'w' stands for With Multiple Reflection (WMR), If it was 'n', it will stand for No Multiple Reflection (NMR) 151 is the day of year. For 2013, it was May 31. So the simulation started at 0 UT, May 31. However, the file provides precipitation data for the complete simulation period from the start of simulation. All 'dm' files are CIMI particle fluxes at corresponding DMSP orbits. For example, dm016 stands for CIMI particle fluxes along DMSP F16 orbits. '_e_' indicates this file has electron precipitation data. Additional information The file 'fluxWMR.dat' is used for Figure 1
