Communications/Navigation Outage Forecasting System (C/NOFS)

The routines in this module can be used to load data from the Communications/Navigation Outage Forecasting System (C/NOFS) mission.

Coupled Ion-Neutral Dynamics Investigation (CINDI)

pyspedas.projects.cnofs.cindi(trange=['2013-11-5', '2013-11-6'], prefix='', suffix='', get_support_data=False, varformat=None, varnames=[], downloadonly=False, notplot=False, no_update=False, time_clip=False, force_download=False)[source]

This function loads data from the Coupled Ion-Neutral Dynamics Investigation (CINDI)

Parameters:

  • trange (list of str) – time range of interest [starttime, endtime] with the format ‘YYYY-MM-DD’,’YYYY-MM-DD’] or to specify more or less than a day [‘YYYY-MM-DD/hh:mm:ss’,’YYYY-MM-DD/hh:mm:ss’] Default: [‘2013-11-5’, ‘2013-11-6’]

  • prefix (str) – The tplot variable names will be given this prefix. By default, no prefix is added.

  • suffix (str) – The tplot variable names will be given this suffix. By default, no suffix is added.

  • get_support_data (bool) – Data with an attribute “VAR_TYPE” with a value of “support_data” will be loaded into tplot. By default, only loads in data with a “VAR_TYPE” attribute of “data”.

  • varformat (str) – The file variable formats to load into tplot. Wildcard character “*” is accepted. By default, all variables are loaded in.

  • varnames (list of str) – List of variable names to load (if not specified, all data variables are loaded)

  • downloadonly (bool) – Set this flag to download the CDF files, but not load them into tplot variables Default: False

  • notplot (bool) – Return the data in hash tables instead of creating tplot variables Default: False

  • no_update (bool) – If set, only load data from your local cache Default: False

  • time_clip (bool) – Time clip the variables to exactly the range specified in the trange keyword Default: False

  • force_download (bool) – Download file even if local version is more recent than server version Default: False

Return type:

List of tplot variables created.

Example:

>>> import pyspedas
>>> from pyspedas import tplot
>>> cindi_vars = pyspedas.projects.cnofs.cindi(trange=['2013-11-5', '2013-11-6'])
>>> tplot(['ionVelocityX', 'ionVelocityY', 'ionVelocityZ'])

Example

import pyspedas
from pyspedas import tplot
cindi_vars = pyspedas.projects.cnofs.cindi(trange=['2013-11-5', '2013-11-6'])
tplot(['ionVelocityX', 'ionVelocityY', 'ionVelocityZ'])

Parameters:

  • trange (list of str) – time range of interest [starttime, endtime] with the format ‘YYYY-MM-DD’,’YYYY-MM-DD’] or to specify more or less than a day [‘YYYY-MM-DD/hh:mm:ss’,’YYYY-MM-DD/hh:mm:ss’] Default: [‘2010-11-5’, ‘2010-11-6’]

  • datatype (str) – String specifying datatype (options: ‘efield_1sec’, ‘bfield_1sec’, ‘ld_500msec’) Default: ‘efield_1sec’

  • prefix (str) – The tplot variable names will be given this prefix. Default: ‘’, no prefix is added.

  • suffix (str) – The tplot variable names will be given this suffix. Default: ‘’, no suffix is added.

  • get_support_data (bool) – Data with an attribute “VAR_TYPE” with a value of “support_data” will be loaded into tplot. Default: False. Only loads in data with a “VAR_TYPE” attribute of “data”.

  • varformat (str) – The file variable formats to load into tplot. Wildcard character “*” is accepted. Default: None. All variables are loaded in.

  • varnames (list of str) – List of variable names to load Default: []. If not specified, all data variables are loaded

  • downloadonly (bool) – Set this flag to download the CDF files, but not load them into tplot variables Default: False

  • notplot (bool) – Return the data in hash tables instead of creating tplot variables Default: False

  • no_update (bool) – If set, only load data from your local cache Default: False

  • time_clip (bool) – Time clip the variables to exactly the range specified in the trange keyword Default: False
