DMSP F17 Special Sensors-Ions, Electrons, and Scintillation (SSIES) Thermal Plasma Analysis Package, Level 2 (L2), 1 s Data in CDF Format
The Special Sensors-Ions, Electrons, and Scintillation (SSIES) thermal plasma analysis package is a suite of instruments built by the Center for Space Sciences at the University of Texas at Dallas and flown on a number of the DMSP satellites. SSIESS includes a Retarding Potential Analyzer (RPA), Ion Drift meter (IDM), scintillation meter, and Langmuir probe.
