MMS-4 Definitive Ephemeris (ASCII)

ResourceID
spase://CNES/NumericalData/CDPP-Archive/MMS-4/Fields/SCM/MMS_SCM_4_EPHEM

Description
This dataset contains definitive orbit ephemeris used to create L2 data from L1b data (probe position, speed and mass) GTP files are produced when problems occurred on original files. These are the correct files to be used in order to generate level 2 files. For more information, please have a look at the SCM Data Products Guide

Acknowledgement
SCM data, as a data set of the MMS-SMART data products, are open to all scientists and the public (Users). Users should contact the MMS-SMART Principal Investigator (PI) J. L. Burch and O. Le Contel the co-investigator (coI) of the SCM instrument to consult on the appropriate use of instrument data. Users should acknowledge the sources of data used in all publications, presentations, and reports. Please send information on the use of these data to: - PI: J. L. Burch [jburch@swri.edu] - co-I: O. Le Contel [olivier.lecontel@lpp.polytechnique.fr] We suggest to add the following lines into the acknowledgments: The authors acknowledge NASA, CNES (Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales) and, CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) for their support to the MMS/SCM team and the CDPP (Centre de Données de la Physique des Plasmas) for the distribution of the MMS/SCM data. and if PI/coI are not part of the publication list, then we suggest to add Specifically, we acknowledge J. L. Burch for use of data from the MMS-SMART mission, O. Le Contel and the late A. Roux for use of SCM data.
