7. C osmic R Ay T elescope for the E ffects of R adiation CRaTER Data Products Description Level 0 Unprocessed instrument data (pulse height at each detector), secondary science (discarded events), housekeeping. Level 1 Science data depacketed, 1-s resolution. Ancillary data pulled in (spacecraft attitude, calibration files, etc) Level 2 Pulse heights converted into energy deposited in each detector. Calculation of Si LET spectra. Level 3Separate out magnetotail, foreshock and ‘GCR’ data. Level 4 Calculation of TEP LET, incident energies and particle flux. Pull in GCR data from other spacecraft (e.g. ACE).
