Database of Nightside, High-latitude Ionosphere Meso-scale Flow Characteristics
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This database is a compilation of nightside, high-latitude ionosphere meso-scale flow characteristics built on those used in Gabrielse et al. [2018] (https://doi.org/10.1029/2018JA025440). It is the most complete version. If you would like to use the database, please contact Christine Gabrielse (cgabrielse@ucla.edu, cgabrielse@gmail.com, and/or christine.gabrielse@aero.org). Depending on how the results are used, the main authors request co-authorship on publications that utilize this database. The methodology and selection criteria can be found in Gabrielse et al. [2018] (https://doi.org/10.1029/2018JA025440). The following list describes the columns in each data file labeled, ***_FLOW-DATA-PCvsAO_YYYY.txt <br> The first three letters (RNK or SAS) designate the station used (Rankin Inlet or Saskatoon).<br> Files named ***_FLOW-DATA-PCvsAO_poleward_YYYY.txt are for poleward-directed flows. <br> Each text file is for a different year (YYYY). <br> <br> AO=Auroral Oval for Rankin Inlet; equatorward of the auroral oval for Saskatoon (not used)<br> PC=Polar Cap for Rankin Inlet; Auroral Oval for Saskatoon (Note: the data files for RNK and SAS have the same format, so the PC designator means flows above the pertinent boundary (polar cap boundary for RNK, auroral oval equatorward boundary at SAS) and the AO designator means flows below the pertinent boundary.) time [YYYYMMDDhhmmss]<br> flagAO [-1=flow could not be observed. 0=flow could be observed, but was not. 1=flow was observed]<br> flagPC [-1=flow could not be observed. 0=flow could be observed, but was not. 1=flow was observed]<br> FWHMavg_AO [degrees]<br> FWHMkmavg_AO=[km]<br> longtestranges=[ignore]<br> Velmaxavg_AO=[m/s, actual average of max V in each range gate used]<br> VelmaxFITavg_AO=[m/s, determined from the Gaussian fits]<br> FWHMavg_PC=[degrees]<br> FWHMkmavg_PC=[km]<br> Velmaxavg_PC=[m/s, actual average of max V in each range gate used]<br> VelmaxFITavg_PC=[m/s, determined from the Gaussian fits] ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;<br> For the bearings/orientation, see the orientation text files.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
