Taiwan Ascii and Idl_save Data Archives (AIDA) for THEMIS |
|
|
|
|
|
Taiwan Ascii and Idl_save Data Archives (AIDA) is developed for those who do not have the Interactive Data Language (IDL) data analysis and visualization software (for ASCII format) or those who know some basic IDL concepts and techniques and want more flexibilities in reading and plotting the THEMIS data (for IDL SAVE format). |
|
|
|
|
|
The ASCII and SAVE files are converted using the original CDF files obtained from the web page of Space Science Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley. The rules of the road for data use can also be found there. |
|
|
|
|
|
Taiwan AIDA, created and maintained by the Taiwan THEMIS space research team in Institute of Space Science, National Central University, is financially supported by National Space Organization, Taiwan under grant 95-NSPO(B)-SP-FA07-01, and Ministry of Education under the Aim for Top University program at NCU. We acknowledge NASA contract NAS5-02099 and V. Angelopoulos for use of data from THEMIS mission. |
|
|
|
|
|
After you download THEMIS data from this web site, the use of the data through Taiwan AIDA should be acknowledged in any publications. For example, We acknowledge NASA contract
NAS5-02099 and V. Angelopoulos for the use of data from the THEMIS Mission through
AIDA at Institute of Space Science, National Central University in
Taiwan. |
