MARS EXPRESS ASPERA-3: Calibrated Electron Spectrometer Data for 2013-2014

Calibrated Mars Express ASPERA-3 Electron Spectrometer data for the fourth mission extension from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2014. The data are provided in units of Differential Number Flux (cnts/(cm**2-sr-sec-eV)). This dataset was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Modeling the Martian atmospheric escape based on calibrated electron flux data.
• Analyzing temporal variations in the Martian plasma environment during the 2013-2014 period.
• Correlating electron spectrometer readings with other Mars Express instrument data for multi-instrument studies.
• Validating space weather models for Mars using empirical electron flux measurements.

Strengths

• Data is calibrated, which suggests a processed and standardized format.
• Covers a defined two-year time range from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2014.
• Produced by the authoritative source National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
