UARS Particle Environment Monitor (PEM) Level 3TP V004 (UARPE3TP) at GES DISC

PEM was made up of four instruments: the Atmospheric X-Ray Imaging Spectrometer (AXIS), the High Energy Particle Spectrometer (HEPS), the Medium Energy Spectrometer (MEPS), and the Vector Magnetometer (VMAG). PEM was flown on NASA's Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) to measure the type, amount, energy, and distribution of charged particles injected into the Earth's thermosphere, mesosphere, and stratosphere.

The PEM Level 3TP data are processed with the version 4 algorithm. The PEM level 3TP data are a special data product, providing higher temporal resolution than the level 3AT data, with the HEPS and MEPS instrument data in separate files. The HEPS profiles are made every 65.536 seconds, and the MEPS profiles are made every 2.048 seconds.
