STEREO-A IMPACT SWEA Level-2 Survey electron pitch-angle distributions in phase space density

ResourceID
spase://CNES/NumericalData/CDPP-Archive/STEREO-A/IMPACT/SWEA/STA_SWEA_SURVEY_PAD

Description
This data set contains the electron pitch angle distributions (from 0° to 180°) as a function of energy at the SURVEY cadence (30 s). The pitch-angles are calculated in the plasma frame based on ion velocity from the PLASTIC instrument (if data is available, according to a flag given in the dataset). The data is provided in units of phase space density. The reference frame is related to the instrument frame.
