Hector Salinas has produced a Python implementation of the Adaptive MultiTaper periodiciticy detector that Simone di Matteo has contributed to IDL SPEDAS. We should add an interface to his package...

Get 3D particle distributions for MMS FEEPS data?

1

From Anansa Keaton-Ashanti ([email protected]): I was wondering if there was a way to get a distribution from FEEPS data like the distribution from FPI using the mms_getspec routine. Mms_getspec allows...

I've been having some discussions with the MMS FPI team about the details of how 2d slices work. Jason Shuster @ UNH apparently has his own tool for generating similar...

spacepy apparently includes support for several field models, including some of the Tsyganenko models, under its IRBEMPY module: https://spacepy.github.io/autosummary/spacepy.irbempy.get_Bfield.html#spacepy.irbempy.get_Bfield It sounds like these are compiled Fortran libraries, so they might...

store_data modifies input data structure

1

With this code: ``` from pytplot import store_data tp_data={'x':[1,2,3], 'y':[4,5,6]} store_data('foo',data=tp_data) store_data('bar',data=tp_data) ``` the second store_data() call fails because the previous call modified tp_data: ``` File "/Users/jwl/PycharmProjects/pyspedas/pyspedas/utilities/tests/tplot_wildcard_tests.py", line 37, in...

Cluster CDFs from CSA sometimes have variables incorrectly marked non-record-variant

2

While troubleshooting a crash loading Cluster data, I discovered a problem with the CDFs themselves: if the CDF contains only a single sample for an array-valued variable, it can lose...

We were notified by Dylan Jesernik at LASP that PySPEDAS has been generating bursts of 3 requests at a time to the MMS data server. The first POST request was...

Convert SECS/EICS plugin to use Cartopy instead of basemap

4

This will help avoid future version conflicts, since basemap requires an older version of matplotlib. There is now a basemap_to_cartopy branch where this development will happen.

These two tools use different file formats, and despite what the tplot_save comments say, files created with tplot_save cannot be read by tplot_restore. tplot_save creates Python "pickle" files, while tplot_restore...
