Code and Data for "Non-local Evolution of Magnetic Helicity across the MHD-Kinetic Interface"

Description

This repository contains the Python scripts and processed datasets required to reproduce Figures 1 through 4 presented in the paper "Non-local Evolution of Magnetic Helicity across the MHD-Kinetic Interface".

Structure & Levels of Reproducibility

To accommodate different user needs, the codebase is structured into three levels of reproducibility:

  • Level 3 (Quick Figure Reproduction, Recommended): Uses pre-extracted lightweight datasets (.csv and .h5) in plot_data/ to instantly generate Figures 1-4 via plot_figureX.py without downloading raw satellite data.
  • Level 2 (Plot Data Extraction & Calculation): Runs calculate_plot_data.py to recalculate physical quantities from intermediate .parquet/.ipc files.
  • Level 1 (Raw Data Preprocessing): Provides reference prep_stepX scripts demonstrating how raw Parker Solar Probe (PSP) L2/L3 CDF files were processed.

Changes in This Version

  • Added the LICENSE file (MIT License).
  • Added repository metadata and abstract in CITATION.cff.
