Description
This dataset is a list of steady magnetospheric convection (SMC) events occurring in Earth's magnetosphere between 1997 and 2013. The criteria and method of SMC selection are documented in the following two papers:
Kissinger et al. (2011), "Steady magnetospheric convection and stream interfaces: Relationship over a solar cycle", JGR, doi:10.1029/2010JA015763.
Kissinger et al. (2012), "Diversion of plasma due to high pressure in the inner magnetosphere during steady magnetospheric convection", JGR, doi:10.1029/2012JA017579.
The filename "smc_list_1997_2013.csv" is a list of every SMC selected during this time period. This is a comma-separated file with two columns: the first column is the timestamp indicating the start of the SMC event, and the second column is the timestamp indicating the end of the SMC event.
The filename "smc_list_1997_2013_longerthan5hrs.csv" is a subset of the first list, filtered to only SMCs with a duration longer than 5 hours. The schema of this file matches the first one, with an additional third column showing the duration of the SMC in hours.
