Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)
The routines in this module can be used to load data from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) mission.
Magnetometer (FGM)
- pyspedas.goes.fgm(trange=['2013-11-5', '2013-11-6'], probe='15', datatype='1min', suffix='', downloadonly=False, no_update=False, time_clip=False)
This function loads data from the GOES Magnetometer
- Parameters
trange (
list
ofstr
) – 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’]probe (
str/int
orlist
ofstrs/ints
) – GOES spacecraft #, e.g., probe=15datatype (
str
) – Data type; Valid options:suffix (
str
) – The tplot variable names will be given this suffix. By default, no suffix is added.downloadonly (
bool
) – Set this flag to download the CDF files, but not load them into tplot variablesno_update (
bool
) – If set, only load data from your local cachetime_clip (
bool
) – Time clip the variables to exactly the range specified in the trange keyword
- Return type
List
oftplot variables created.
Example
import pyspedas
from pytplot import tplot
mag_vars = pyspedas.goes.fgm(trange=['2013-11-5', '2013-11-6'], datatype='512ms')
tplot(['BX_1', 'BY_1', 'BZ_1'])
