A12.3.5 HISCALE

 

The on-line HISCALE data are stored on node ESTSC0.

The measured parameters provided in the data files are ion and electron flux measurements.

These data can be accessed by registered users of the UDS account at ESTEC. The details relevant to the HISCALE data files are as follows:
