        Pass a time range a la TIME_STRING.PRO.
      FILENAMES (In):
        * PRESENTLY DISABLED * Pass user-defined file names (full paths to local data files).  These will
          be read a la the Kyoto format, and the Kyoto server will not be queried.

        available even with /DOWNLOADONLY (yes), added acknowledgment and
        warning banner, added 'ax' datatype, WMF, 5/19/2008.

## KYOTO_DST_LOAD

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

     Procedure: kyoto_dst_load
     loads kyoto DST data into tplot format
     Davin Larson  Apr 2008

(See general/missions/kyoto/kyoto_dst_load.pro)

## KYOTO_LOAD_AE

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

    Name:
    KYOTO_LOAD_AE

    Purpose:
      Queries the Kyoto servers for AE, AL, AO, AU, and AX data and loads data into
      tplot format.  Highly modified from KYOTO_AE_LOAD.
      Note: Only provisional data is available. Kyoto does not make realtime AE indices available in this
      form due to the possible problems with the data (plots of realtime AE can be found on their website).
      Provisional data is usually available for up to few months before the present. Exact dates of availability
      can be checked at https://wdc.kugi.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ae_provisional/index.html.
      Note that there are no final AE indices produced.
      See also thm_crib_make_ae.pro for information on generating THEMIS pseudo AE indices.

    Syntax:
      KYOTO_LOAD_AE [ ,DATATYPE = string ]
                     [ ,TRANGE = [min,max] ]
                     [ ,FILENAMES = string scalar or array ]
                     [ ,<and data keywords below> ]

    Keywords:
      DATATYPE (I/O):
        Set to 'ae', 'al', 'ao', 'au', 'ax', or 'all'.  If not set, 'ae' is
          assumed.  Returns cleaned input, or shows default.
      TRANGE (In):
        Pass a time range a la TIME_STRING.PRO.
      FILENAMES (In):
        *PRESENTLY DISABLED* Pass user-defined file names (full paths to local data files).  These will
          be read a la the Kyoto format, and the Kyoto server will not be queried.
      AEDATA, AETIME (Out):  Get 'ae' data, time basis.
      ALDATA, ALTIME (Out):  Get 'al' data, time basis.
      AODATA, AOTIME (Out):  Get 'ao' data, time basis.
      AUDATA, AUTIME (Out):  Get 'au' data, time basis.
      VERBOSE (In): [1,...,5], Get more detailed (higher number) command line output.
      no_server (in) Use only data available locally (same as deprecated no_download keyword).
    Code:
    W.M.Feuerstein, 5/15/2008.

    Modifications:
      Changed file format of name (kyoto_ae_YYYY_MM.dat to kyoto_ae_YYYYMM.dat),
        changed "DST" references to "AE", updated doc'n, WMF, 4/17/2008.
      Saved new version under new name (old name was KYOTO_AE_LOAD), added
        DATATYPE kw, validate and loop on datatypes, hardwired /DOWNLOADONLY,
        up'd data kwd's, up'd doc'n, WMF, 5/15/2008.
      Tested that the software defaults to local data when ther internet is not
        available even with /DOWNLOADONLY (yes), added acknowledgment and
        warning banner, added 'ax' datatype, WMF, 5/19/2008.
      Put acknowledment in header, upd'd doc'n, added ytitles, created
        DLIMITS.DATA_ATT.ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, WMF, 5/20/2008.
      Multiline ytitles, changed acknowledgment, WMF, 5/21/2008.
      Changed name from KYOTO_AE2TPLOT.PRO to KYOTO_LOAD_AE.PRO, WMF, 6/4/2008.
      Removed SOURCE.DOWNLOADONLY and SOURCE.MIN_AGE_LIMIT references, added
        VERBOSE kw per D. Larson, WMF, 7/8/2008.
      Default for VERBOSE kw, WMF, 7/24/2008.
      Fixed use of trange keyword, added no_server keyword. lphilpott 17-oct-2011

    Acknowledgment:
      The provisional AE data are provided by the World Data Center for Geomagnetism, Kyoto,
      and are not for redistribution (https://wdc.kugi.kyoto-u.ac.jp/). Furthermore, we thank
      AE stations (Abisko [SGU, Sweden], Cape Chelyuskin [AARI, Russia], Tixi [IKFIA and
      AARI, Russia], Pebek [AARI, Russia], Barrow, College [USGS, USA], Yellowknife,
      Fort Churchill, Sanikiluaq (Poste-de-la-Baleine) [CGS, Canada], Narsarsuaq [DMI,
      Denmark], and Leirvogur [U. Iceland, Iceland]) as well as the RapidMAG team for
      their cooperations and efforts to operate these stations and to supply data for the provisional
      AE index to the WDC, Kyoto. (Pebek is a new station at geographic latitude of 70.09N
      and longitude of 170.93E, replacing the closed station Cape Wellen.)
