Description

Database of Polar Cap Patches detected with the North face of the Resolute Bay Incoherent Scatter Radar (RISR-N)

This dataset was generated by applying two polar cap patch detection algorithm described to the full RISR-N database

The Ren2018 algorithm was first described in Ren et al., 2018 (doi:10.1029/2018JA025621).  It includes the time, peak, and prominence of all detected patches, asd well as the average electron and ion temperature and electron density within each patch.

The Perry2018 algorithm was first described in Perry & St. Maurice, 2018 (doi:10.1029/2018RS006600).  Instead of a list of patches, this algorithm generates a patch index for each time in the database which corresponds to the percentage of the F-region FoV filled with patches.

The script that generates this database in available on GitHub: Polar-Cap-Scintillation/polar_cap_patch_detection
