RPW Data Center
L0 and L1 data products description
The list of RPW raw and uncalibrated data products released publicly is provided below, sorted by processing levels (L1 and L0).
Click on a given product name to open the page given more details.
For details about science calibrated data (L3 and L2 levels), please visit this page.
The standards to be followed by the RPW data products are presented in the Metadata Definition for Solar Orbiter Science Data document issued by ESA. It includes the file naming convention, data versioning, data processing levels definition, data formats, metadata, etc.
Some standards are however reported on this dedicated webpage for convenience.
Additional references about RPW data and officiel data user guide for each sub-system in PDF can be found at the bottom of the page.
Visit webpage What is RPW ? for more details about RPW hardware and flight software modes.
Numerical data products
Uncalibrated science data products (L1)
RPW L1 products contain uncalibrated data, time-stamped (i.e., TT2000 Epoch time) and organized by subsystem, mode and type of measurement. The file format is CDF.
