[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]

    Purpose:
      Crib sheet demonstrating how to obtain particle distribution slices
      from MMS FPI data using mms_part_slice2d.

      Run as script or copy-paste to command line.
        (examples containing loops cannot be copy-pasted to command line)

    Field-aligned coordinate descriptions:
      'BV':  The x axis is parallel to B field; the bulk velocity defines the x-y plane
      'BE':  The x axis is parallel to B field; the B x V(bulk) vector defines the x-y plane
      'xy':  (default) The x axis is along the coordinate's x axis and y is along the coordinate's y axis
      'xz':  The x axis is along the coordinate's x axis and y is along the coordinate's z axis
      'yz':  The x axis is along the coordinate's y axis and y is along the coordinate's z axis
      'xvel':  The x axis is along the coordinate's x axis; the x-y plane is defined by the bulk velocity
      'perp':  The x axis is the bulk velocity projected onto the plane normal to the B field; y is B x V(bulk)
      'perp_xy':  The coordinate's x & y axes are projected onto the plane normal to the B field
      'perp_xz':  The coordinate's x & z axes are projected onto the plane normal to the B field
      'perp_yz':  The coordinate's y & z axes are projected onto the plane normal to the B field

    Notes:
      -FPI data is large and can be very memory intensive!  It is recommended
       that no more than a few minutes of data is loaded at a time for ions
       and less for electrons.

    Field-aligned coordinate descriptions:
      'BV':  The x axis is parallel to B field; the bulk velocity defines the x-y plane
      'BE':  The x axis is parallel to B field; the B x V(bulk) vector defines the x-y plane
      'xy':  (default) The x axis is along the coordinate's x axis and y is along the coordinate's y axis
      'xz':  The x axis is along the coordinate's x axis and y is along the coordinate's z axis
      'yz':  The x axis is along the coordinate's y axis and y is along the coordinate's z axis
      'xvel':  The x axis is along the coordinate's x axis; the x-y plane is defined by the bulk velocity
      'perp':  The x axis is the bulk velocity projected onto the plane normal to the B field; y is B x V(bulk)
      'perp_xy':  The coordinate's x & y axes are projected onto the plane normal to the B field
      'perp_xz':  The coordinate's x & z axes are projected onto the plane normal to the B field
      'perp_yz':  The coordinate's y & z axes are projected onto the plane normal to the B field

## MMS_TIME_PRECISION_CRIB

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]

     mms_time_precision_crib

     Due to usage of unix times in SPEDAS, times are limited to
     microsecond level pricision; this crib sheet demonstrates
     the issue and shows how to load in the full times with
     nanosecond level precision using LONG64s or Big Integers

## MMS_WAVPOL_CRIB

[Previous Routine] [List of Routines]

         mms_wavpol_crib

         This crib sheet demonstrates usage of the wave polarization routines
         using MMS SCM data

    This version stores these outputs as tplot variables with the
    specified prefix
             These are follows:

             Wave power: On a linear scale (units of nT^2/Hz if input Bx, By, Bz are in nT)

             Degree of Polarisation:
       This is similar to a measure of coherency between the input
       signals, however unlike coherency it is invariant under
       coordinate transformation and can detect pure state waves
       which may exist in one channel only.100% indicates a pure
       state wave. Less than 70% indicates noise. For more
       information see J. C. Samson and J. V. Olson 'Some comments
       on the description of the polarization states
       of waves' Geophys. J. R. Astr. Soc. (1980) v61 115-130

             Wavenormal Angle:
       the angle between the direction of minimum
       variance calculated from the complex off diagonal
       elements of the spectral matrix and the Z direction
       of the input
       ac field data. For magnetic field data in
       field aligned coordinates this is the
       wavenormal angle assuming a plane wave.

             Ellipticity:The ratio (minor axis)/(major axis) of the
       ellipse transcribed by the field variations of the
       components transverse to the Z direction. The sign
       indicates the direction of rotation of the field vector in
         the plane. Negative signs refer to left-handed
       rotation about the Z direction. In the field
       aligned coordinate system these signs refer to
       plasma waves of left and right handed
       polarisation.

             Helicity:Similar to Ellipticity except defined in terms of the
     direction of minimum variance instead of Z. Strictly the Helicity
     is defined in terms of the wavenormal direction or k.
     However since from single point observations the
     sense of k cannot be determined,  helicity here is
     simply the ratio of the minor to major axis transverse to the
           minimum variance direction without sign.

     Last updated by:
     O. Le Contel, LPP, in order to manage data gaps in the waveform
     using test written by K. Bromund (in thm_cal_scm.pro)
