The following table describes the data product types available for the Special Sensor Ultraviolet Spectrographic Imager (SSUSI) instrument. All data files are in NetCDF format and the detailed field definitions files can be found as links in column 3.
| Data Type | Description | Format Definition File |
|---|---|---|
| PREP | Raw Instrument Data reformatted into NetCDF | Prep Format |
| Level 1B | Calibrated, Background subtracted, geolocated instrument scan data | L1B Format |
| SDR | Scan data binned onto a larger, more uniform geographic based grid | SDR Format |
| EDR-auroral | Auroral boundary, Q, E0, NmE, HmE gridded geomagnetically, Hemispheric power, p precipitation regions | EDR Formats |
| EDR-disk | NmF2, HmF2, [Nightside: F0F2], [Dayside:Qeuv,O/N2,TEC] | EDR Formats |
| EDR-limb | NmF2, HmF2, [Nightside: VER, EDP,Htop], [Dayside: TEC, densities for O2, O, N2] | EDR Formats |
| EDR-Iono | Number of equatorial ionospheric bubbles detected and their centroid locations; Electron densities in bubble and background ionosphere | EDR Formats |
