## SOLARWIND_LOAD

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

     NAME:
         SOLARWIND_LOAD

     PURPOSE:
    	Routine provides solar wind (SW) data time-shifted to the bow-shock
    	nose. Time resolution of data is variable with 1 minute as finest.
    	SW data sources: OMNI-2, HRO, and WIND. Time shifting of the WIND
    	data is based on the OMNI-2 metodology.
    	Important difference is that we first average and then propagate
    	averaged WIND quantities to the Earth. If there still is a strong
    	irregularity in the SW speed after averaging, the code warns user.
    	In all cases of insufficient data, the code produces nominal static
    	SW parameters, following SPDF standards. Static nominal SW data is
    	default output if no user preferences are specified in the
    	program call.

     CATEGORY:
    	Data Processing

     CALLING SEQUENCE:
    	solarwind_load,swdata,dstout,trange, resol=resol, wind=wind, hro=hro, min5=min5, h1=h1, dst=dst

     INPUTS:
    	trange : [tstart, tend] - time range (at the magnetopause) for SW data
    		Times tstart and tend need to be one of types supported by TDAS
    		(specifically, by the time_double.pro routine), in part:
    		double seconds since 1970 (internal TDAS format)
    		string format: 'YYYY-MM-DD/hh:mm:ss'
     OPTIONAL INPUT:
    	resol  : desired time resolution of the output data in seconds
    		- if not set, SW data are provided in original time resolution

     KEYWORDS:
    	wind - WIND observations used (they are convolved to desired resolution and
    		then time-shifted to the bow-shock nose using OMNI-2 methodology. The
    		code checks if the SW speed irregularities are too large and warns
    		user when more sophisticated processing may be needed.
    	hro - HRO data are used (most consistent approach up-to-date). The data are
    		already propagated, so they are just convolved to desired resolution.
    	min5 - use 5 min HRO merged database (default is to use 1 min HRO merged data)
    	h1 - use OMNI-2 1 hour SW database. No convolution employed and parameter
    		resol is ignored
    	dst - get Dst index from the OMNI-2 database. This switch works independently
    		on the other data keywords (for example, it provides Dst output even
    		if HRO or WIND data are ordered). Dst is interpolated onto the time grid
    		od requested data, if any.

     PARAMETERS: 3 parameters for outlier filtering are described and set at the
    			beginning of the code.

     OUTPUTS:
    	swdata: | t | Dp | Bz | of IMF at the bow-shock nose
    		- 2D double array (ntpoints,3)
    	dstout: | Dst | - Dst index on the 1-hour OMNI-2 time grid
    		- double array (ntpoints)

     DEPENDENCIES: convolve_gaussian_1d.pro, remove_outliers.pro, repair.pro,
         wi_swe_load.pro, wi_mfi_load.pro, omni_hro_load.pro, omni2_load.pro,
         get_data.pro, xclip.pro, xdegap.pro, xdeflag.pro, cotrans.pro. The code
         is a lowest-level part of LMN transform package.

     MODIFICATION HISTORY:
    	Written by:	Vladimir Kondratovich 2007/12/28.
    	Modified by Vladimir Kondratovich 2008/03/31. Mods do not change call syntax. The code
    		is made modular with plug-in subroutines for each data source, so it became easy
    		to add a new one. Existing ingest modules provide a template.
