Statistics Data Files - per season, hemisphere, and geomagnetic condition
These files contain all statistics calculated in the publication: trough width (in magnetic latitude degrees), positions of both polar and equatorward trough boundaries, TEC gradients along both boundaries, and minimum depth of the trough. Trough detection rate was calculated from these files using the number of valid values out of NaNs (see MorphologyPlots.ipynb).
File format is .pickle as they contain Python VARIABLES and can be loaded and modified using the Python pickle library (see MorphologyPlots.ipynp to see loading).
Each file is named as follows:
NH or SH for hemisphere _ (stat type) _ geomagnetic condition + season
Geomagnetic conditions go as: q = quiet, m = moderate, a = active
Seasons go as: w = winter, p = spring, s = summer, f = fall
Example: NH_EqDiff_qw = Northern hemisphere equatorward TEC difference (gradient), quiet wintertime
PLEASE NOTE: SEASON labels are according to NORTHERN HEMISPHERE, Southern hemisphere seasons are swapped! If one desires to look at the SH in winter, they must load the files ending with s for summer, etc.
