EFW Data Validation

This page has not been completed, and is probably not yet useful.


First, list the actual hardware failures that affect everything.  Link to the ops page.

Different types of data require different validation chains:
  • Spin-fit data
    • how to do a robust spinfit
    • sunward offset
    • partial short-circuiting
    • Whisper pulses
    • problems when B is near the spin plane
    • reference frame and V_sat x B field
    • regional issues - see problems page
    • validation - compare to VxB or EDI
  • High-resolution quasi-DC data
    • All the spin-fit issues, plus:
      • Offsets from uneven probe lengths and ADC drift
      • how to despin (after having spin-fit the data)
      • removal of spin harmonics
  • AC data well above spin frequency
    • how to do a simple despin
  • Spacecraft potential as a proxy for density
    • Arnaud's work
    • Forrest's work
    • ASPOC
    • EDI
    • bias current changes
    • spin remnants
  • Langmuir mode
    • ?
  • Sweeps
    • ?
