Energy Balance and Time Dependence of a Magnetotail Electron Diffusion Region

The data sets and python notebook included are for a submitted manuscript to the Journal of Geophysical Review: Space Physics. An IDL save file has also been included which contains variables from a reconstruction of the event in the manuscript. The time variable in tt2000. Other variables are in units of nW/m^3 by default. <br> <br> The purpose of the work is to determine how electromagnetic energy is converted into plasma energy in the electron diffusion region of magnetic reconnection. Using both spacecraft data and simulations, we investigate how the terms in Poynting's theorem change as reconnection begins and evolves in time.本次附带的数据集与Python脚本笔记本，均为已投稿至《地球物理评论：空间物理学》（Journal of Geophysical Review: Space Physics）期刊的学术手稿配套研究资料。此外还包含一份IDL保存文件（IDL save file），其中存储了手稿中对应事件重构得到的各类变量。其中时间变量采用tt2000格式，其余变量默认单位为纳瓦每立方米（nW/m³）。 本研究的核心目标为探明磁重联电子扩散区内，电磁能量向等离子体能量的转化机制。研究结合航天器实测数据与数值模拟手段，探究磁重联启动并随时间演化过程中，坡印廷定理（Poynting's theorem）各项表达式的变化特征。
