RO-C-RPCICA-5-PRL-MOMENT

Data Set Overview The data from the ROSETTA PLASMA CONSORTIUM (RPC) Ion Composition Analyser (ICA) was submitted by Hans Nilsson for the RPCICA team. The data set is derived from data of mass resolved positively charged ions in the energy range a few eV to 40 keV, separated into physical mass per charge ranges corresponding to H+, He2+, He+ and H2O+ and above. Two moments were numerically integrated from the data, over available energy range and measurement directions, the density and the bulk velocity. This dataset contains DERIVED MOMENT data of ion density and ion bulk velocity for masses 1,2,4 and 18 amu / e, from the RPCICA instrument on mission ROSETTA during the prelanding phase. Data contains measurements of an undisturbed solar wind until Rosetta was close enough to the comet to obtain measurements of the solar wind interaction with the atmosphere of target comet 67P. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
