PLASMA ELECTRON AND CURRENT EXPERIMENT (PEACE) DATA CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CLUSTER ACTIVE ARCHIVE (CAA)

The data products provided to the ESA Cluster Active Archive (CAA) by the Plasma Electron And Current Experiment (PEACE) team are presented and explained in this paper. Calibration files and raw data files are made available to the CAA together with data processing software that can be utilised by the CAA team to generate science data files in the CEF2 format used by the CAA. For pitch angle and moments information the PEACE team will use data from supporting Cluster instruments to improve onboard data. Calibration studies will be done to improve accuracy so that the best possible calibrations are used for the Archive. Improvements to the calibrations and moments will be an ongoing process reflecting the 'Active' sense of the Archive.
