Description

The following archive contain electron density and temperature, extracted with MEA 1 instrument, for all the solar wind and Venus fly-by campaigns.

It contains moments deduced with 3D data product mode (ne and Te) and with the Omni data product mode (ne only).

Refer to the articles:

"Pre-flight Calibration and Near-Earth Commissioning Results of the Mercury Plasma Particle Experiment (MPPE) Onboard MMO (Mio)"

from Y. Saito published on 2021 to get technical information on MEA detector.

and

"Electron moments derived from the Mercury Electron Analyzer during the cruise phase of BepiColombo" from Mathias Rojo, soon available 2023 (accepted with minor revisons),

to know how we derive those moments and what are the instrumental biais.
