TIDE Software / Data Location Summary

Last updated: 06/13/06

Introduction
------------

The web site and new plot files are kept on satyr.nsstc.nasa.gov.  The
level-zero, orbit, attitude, ion mask, and spacecraft potential files are stored
on the data archive (medusa.nsstc.nasa.gov).  The development, production, and 
command software are kept on griffin.nsstc.nasa.gov.  All routine data handling
and processing is done on griffin.  The data archive (medusa) is mounted on 
both griffin and satyr.  The command software runs on griffin with backups on
amos.nsstc.nasa.gov and goewin.gsfc.nasa.gov.

There is a mirror site at GSFC (goewin.gsfc.nasa.gov).  The data archive and 
web site are kept current.  Copies of the rest of the software are available
for use at GSFC should the need arise.

Data

  TIDE Level-Zero, Orbit, Attitude, Mask, and Spacecraft Potential Data Files
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  To find the exact location and name of the files for a specific date, use
  the 'Find Files' link on the TIDE Home Page.  Since mid-1997, the orbit and
  attitude data are in the pre (predicted) subdirectory.  Prior to that time
  they are in the def (definitive) subdirectory.

  The new files are downloaded from the pwgdata.gsfc.nasa.gov anonymous ftp
  site and put in:
    satyr,griffin:  /datafiles which is a link to /archive/data
    goewin:  /archive/data

    The subdirectory structure is:

       attiude/pre/ - daily Polar attitude files
       mask - TIDE ion mask files (one every other day)
       orbit/pre/ - daily Polar orbit files
       scpot - Polar spacecraft potential files (month long files) 
       tide/lz/ - daily TIDE level-zero files

  The archived level-zero, orbit, and attitude files are in:
    satyr,griffin (medusa):  /archive/po_tid_lz_yymm
    goewin:  /archive/po_tid_lz_yymm

    where yymm is the year and month of the data in the files.

    The archive subdirectory structure is:

       data/po/pre/at/ - daily Polar attitude files
       data/po/pre/or/ - daily Polar orbit files
       data/po/tid/lz/ - daily TIDE level-zero files

  TIDE Summary Plot gif, pdf, and jpg files
  -----------------------------------------

  The spectrogram plots can be viewed from the 'View Summary Plots' link on the
  TIDE home page.  Half-orbit and perigee plots can also be viewed on the web 
  as jpeg thumbnails using 'View Thumbnail Plots'

  The new files are temporarily stored in:
    satyr:  /export2/data/tide_plots
    goewin:  /archive/data/tide_plots

  The archived files are in:
    satyr,griffin (medusa):  /archive/po_tid_plt_yymm
    goewin:  /archive/po_tid_plt_yymm

  where yymm is the year and month of the data represented on the plots.

  The subdirectories for all four sites are:

    engspn_avg - TIDE counts averaged over energy and spin angle - 24 hour plot
    hk/daily - TIDE and PSI daily (24hr) housekeeping plots
    hk/trends - TIDE and PSI monthly housekeeping plots
    htr_spectrograms/half_orbit - TIDE summary half-orbit spectrogram plots
    htr_spectrograms/perigee - TIDE summary perigee spectrogram plots
    htr_spectrograms/plasmasphere - TIDE summary plasmasphere spectrogram plots
   

  Polar Spacecraft Data Archive
  -----------------------------

  Mission data is available at the pwgdata.gsfc.nasa.gov anonymous ftp site.  
  Login in as 'anonymous' and cd to pub.  The site can also be reached at via 
  the web at ftp://pwgdata.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/.  Unless otherwise stated, the
  files cover one day.  The latest (less than 90 days old) are kept in the 
  uncompressed directory.  All mission data is gzipped and kept in the
  compressed directory.  The EFI key parameter files contain the spacecraft
  potential.

  archive directory structure:

  dsn/po - *txt files contain the times for three weeks of DSN NRT data passes
  nrt/po/tid/lz/yyyy - latest TIDE NRT level-zero files
  uncompressed/po/tid/lz/yyyy - latest TIDE level-zero files 
  compressed/po/tid/lz/yyyy - gzipped TIDE level-zero files
  uncompressed/po/pre/at/yyyy - latest predicted attitude files 
  compressed/po/pre/at/yyyy - gzipped predicted attitude files 
  compressed/po/def/at/yyyy - gzipped definitive attitude files 
  uncompressed/po/pre/or/yyyy - latest predicted orbit files 
  compressed/po/pre/or/yyyy - gzipped predicted orbit files 
  compressed/po/def/or/yyyy - gzipped definitive orbit files 
  uncompressed/po/pre/wo/yyyy - latest 70-day working orbit files 
  compressed/po/pre/wo/yyyy - gzipped 70-day working orbit attitude files 
  uncompressed/po/efi/k0/yyyy - latest EFI key parameter files 
  compressed/po/efi/k0/yyyy - gzipped EFI key parameter files 

  
  TIDE key parameter and high time resolution files
  -------------------------------------------------

  TIDE key parameter and high time resolution files are available at the 
  NSSDC at ftp://cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/istp/ or http://cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/.
  The key parameter files (po_k0_tid_yyyymmdd_v0n.cdf) are available from 
  03/01/96 - 09/25/02).  TIDE high time resolution files containing H+, O+, and
  He+ (po_h0_tid_yyymmdd_v0n.cdf) are available from 03/28/96 - 09/30/96.  TIDE
  high time resolution files containing Total Ion (Stops) data
  (po_h1_tid_yyyymmdd_v0n.cdf) are available from 12/08/96 - present.  The files
  are also kept on the NSSTC (medusa) and GSFC (goewin) data archives in 
  /archive/tid_cdf in the h0_tid and h1_tid subdirectories.
