ROSETTA-ORBITER RPCICA: Commissioning Phase Solar Wind Data in Counts

Corrected and resampled raw data from the RPCICA instrument aboard the ROSETTA spacecraft during its commissioning phase, provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The data has been corrected for cross-talk and treated for noise, resulting in values in counts that may be negative. It includes measurements of the solar wind and data with high background levels.

Use Cases

• Analyze solar wind properties based on the corrected instrument counts mentioned in the description
• Study instrument noise characteristics and correction algorithms based on the described cross-talk and noise treatment
• Investigate high-background data environments based on the described data with very high background levels

Strengths

• Data has been corrected for cross-talk using an automatic algorithm.
• Noise has been treated to be even regardless of onward noise suppression.
• Provided by the authoritative organization 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.
• Data is provided in counts, not physical units, requiring conversion for some analyses.
