Data Level

Brief Description

Nominal Delivery Schedule

Raw

Raw telemetry data as received at the ground receiving station

 

L0

Binary CCSDS packets (as produced by the corresponding instrument; unpacked metadata

 

L1A

Extracted telemetry items; no calibrations or corrections applied; B and Vsc to all investigations

 

L1B

Extracted telemetry data to which instrument-level provisional calibrations have been applied; simple moments, spectral indices

 

Quicklook

Scientific data products that are generated using simplified science processing algorithms, e.g. with provisional calibrations.

L3

"Spacecraft- and Mission-level" [research-grade] products; resampled spatially and/or temporally and combined with measurements from other MMS instruments to produce a merged data set.  A subset of "mission-level" L3 products are provided only for designated events.

Note: Survey-based Quicklook and Level-1 products are planned to be used for SITL analysis. FPI is planning to produce a SITL-specific product

NOTES from April 9:  How to deal with spacecraft-level ... seems to be missing. Roy mentioned that we may need to break L2 into subcategories.  Level 2A and 2B.
