EDI Prime Parameter Data

EDI data is available from the Cluster Active Archive

NOTES:

1. EDI processed data are obtained by combining multiple return-beams within each analysis interval, using either the triangulation or time-of-flight technique, to determine the drift velocity perpendicular to B. The data files contain both the drift velocity, and associated (-VxB) electric field, in inertial GSE coordinates (after subtracting the spacecraft velocity). The ground analysis provides a statistical assessment of the "quality" of each result, which we classify as "good", "caution", or "bad". The PP data available here were processed using a single spin (4 second) analysis interval, and have been filtered to retain only "good" results. The assignment of "good" is based on an automated algorithm, and should not be taken as a guarantee of each point. In some instances improved results can be obtained with manual adjustments to the filtering, analysis intervals, or processing parameters.
