It is highly recommended to take into account quality value while working with plasma density. * Parameter n_e_good corresponds to n_e quality gt 0.2 * Parameter n_e - all n_e quality values * Note that you can colorize n_e parameter with the quality value (use ColoredParameter field of Plot Interface). * Please always download quality value along with the n_e parameter. Data Source : * 1 - Downsampled floating potential measurement for an illuminated LAP1 * 2 - Downsampled floating potential measurement for an illuminated LAP2 * 3 - Vz for LAP1 * 4 - Vz for LAP1, but using a linearly extrapolated sweep Quality Flag : A quality flag is a (base 10) integer that is constructed in the two steps below: * Add together the constants associated with the relevant quality-related effects listed below. Note that these constants are chosen such that every digit represents up to three true/false values for the presence/absence of three specific separate quality-related effects. * Should the three quality-related effects be irrelevant for the given data product, then that digit is replaced by the digit “9”. Quality flag event description : * +1 - Low quality sweep analysis model fit * +2 - One of two meanings: (1) Low sample size; an average is based on fewer data points than nominal (due to filtering or otherwise) and applies to sweep steps and downsampled time series. (2) zero-padding; zeros replace lost samples for the purpose of calculating PSD. * +10 - One of two meanings: (1) Sweep data product and data products based on sweeps: SAA rotation of more than 0.05° during sweep. (2) Downsampled time series data product: Bias change within the 32 s downsampling period. * +20 - Probe in partial or full shadow * +100 - Rosetta wheel off-loading (WOL) or Orbit-control-maneuver (OCM) * +200 - One of two meanings: (1) For LAP1: LDL disturbance (LAP2 in LDL mode); (2) For LAP2: Contamination signature possibly present * +400 - Saturation Example: suppose that one encounters the quality flag “109”. 109 = 100 + 9 means (1) that there is an ongoing wheel off-loading (+100), and (2) that the quality-related effects associated with +1 and +2 cannot occur even in principle for the kind of data that one is looking at.
