SST Level 2 Data Processing History

This web page contains significant dates for changes in the software and mastercdfs that are used to create THEMIS Level 2 data files for SST (Solid State Telescope) data. Dates for reprocessing of SST L2 files are included.

Processing  Comments
Date    
2007-06-15:   SST L2 files contain full mode energy flux spectrograms.
2007-09-11:  Reprocessed all L2 files to clean out bad files. No change in SST variables.
2008-01-10:  Full L2 reprocessing. No changes in variables or file format.
2008-04-18:  Full L2 reprocessing for TDAS version 4.00 QA. No changes in variables.
2008-12-07:  Reprocessed SST L2 to add software version number.
2010-05-18:  Reprocessed THB (post 24-Jul-2009), THC (post 13-apr-2010) L2 files in response to filled data gaps from L0/L1 processing.
2010-09-16:  Reprocessed full mission for sst; corrected solarwind mode flags, corrected the attenuator adjustment values.
2011-01-07:  Reprocessed full mission for ESA, FBK, FGM, FFT, FIT, MOM, SCM, and SST; to correct for data gaps at day boundaries caused by time clipping in load routines.
2011-05-18:  For some times during boom deployment, the spin period dropped to a value below 2.5 seconds, causing problems with the accumulation of ESA and SST data, resulting in duplicate and non-monotonic time tags. This effected the the following probe data:
THEMIS A - September and December 2007, January 2008
THEMIS B - November 2007
THEMIS C - May 2007
THEMIS D - June2007
2012-10-19:   Reprocessed SST L2 files, all dates and probes, to remove 1.5 second discrepancy.
2014-01-07:   Reprocessed SST L2 files, all dates and probes. All data include new calibrations with dead layer and efficiencies. Electron data calculated from combined F & FT coincidence channel data. CDFs now contain particle moments in addition to energy spectra.
2017-04-18 to 2017-05-04:   Reprocessed FGM, FIT, MOM, ESA, SST and EFI L2 files for all probes for the full mission with new magnetic field calibration data.
