Description
This archive contains four dataset of electron and ion fluxes measured by MMS, THEMIS, and GOES mission in the near-Earth plasma sheet. We used three THEMIS inner probes measurements from 2008-2020, GOES-13 measurements from 2011-2017, GOES-14 measurements from 2018-2019, GOES-15 measurements from 2011-2012, and MMS-1 measurements from 2017-2019. We implemented the following selection criteria to identify near-Earth plasma sheet observations: (1) X < -6RE, |Y| < |X|/2, Bxy < 20nT for THEMIS; (2) X<0, |Y| < |X|, Bxy < 2Bz for GOES; (3) X < -6RE, |Y| < |X|/2, Bxy < 2Bz, Rxy < 12RE for MMS. Fluxes are given in units of energy flux, keV/cm^2/s/sr/keV.
