RBSP/ECT - Radiation Belts Storm Probe / Energetic Particle Composition and Thermal Plasma Suite

Data Usage and Acknowledgement

Papers that use data from any of the ECT instruments (HOPE, MagEIS, and/or REPT) should include the following text in the paper acknowledgements

Processing and analysis of the [HOPE, MagEIS, REPT, or ECT] data was supported by Energetic Particle, Composition, and Thermal Plasma (RBSP-ECT) investigation funded under NASA’s Prime contract no. NAS5-01072. All RBSP-ECT data are publicly available at the Web site http://www.RBSP-ect.lanl.gov/
