Published data from:

The Lower Ionospheric Response to the 2017 Great American Solar Eclipse Observed Across the Continent, by Morris Cohen, Nicholas Gross, Marc Higginson-Rollins, Robert Marshall, Mark Golkowski, William Liles, Doeg Rodriguez, and John Rockway, submitted to Geophysical Research Letters.

DESCRIPTION OF DATA

The data exactly as plotted in figures 3,4 and 5 of the paper are saved in a file called FigureData.mat. The file loads directly into Matlab or its open-source equivalent, Octave.  There are three variables in the file: DataFigure11, DataFigure12, DataFigure13.

Each variable is a 3-dimensional matrix.  The first dimension is the time of day, as seconds after 16:30 UT, on 21-Aug-2017. The second dimension is the site, in the order they appear in the respective figure. The third dimension has length 4, and corresponds to, in order, the major axis, minor axis, tilt angle, and start phase, in that order. This is identical to what is plotted in figures 3,4,5, except in this file we include the minor axis amplitude whereas in the figure in the paper, we plot the minor/major ratio.

The units for major axis and minor axis are converted to dB-pT value. The units for tilt angle and start phase are both in degrees.

Where data are not available or missing, the "NaN" or "Not a Number" designation is included.
