Concise Description

Python and MATLAB tools to retrieve, load, and plot 16-second ACE magnetometer data from the ACE archive.

Description

ACE_magnetometer provides Python and MATLAB tools for working with 16-second ACE satellite magnetometer data. The Python workflow downloads and loads ACE archive files and plots IMF components including Br, Bt, Bn, Bx, By, Bz, Btotal, and dBrms, while the MATLAB workflow reads local ACE HDF files and plots the RTN field components and direction angles over a requested time range.
