Title of Dataset: Data from paper titled "Turbulence and Transport During Guide-Field Reconnection at the Magnetopause" 2. Author Information: Principal Investigator Contact Information: Name: M. Swisdak Institution: University of Maryland Email: swisdak@umd.edu 3. Date of data collection (single date, range, approximate date): Simulation runs performed in June and July 2018. Figures constructed from data between July 2018 and August 2019. 4. Geographic location of data collection (where was data collected?): Simulations performed at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center. -------------------------- SHARING/ACCESS INFORMATION -------------------------- 1. Licenses/restrictions placed on the data: No restrictions are placed by the authors on the use of this data. --------------------- DATA & FILE OVERVIEW --------------------- The data files are in IDL's .dat format and have been extracted from the much larger dataset (on the order of 25 TB) generated during the run. The full set of original data are stored on the High Performance Storage System at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center and can be accessed by contacting the authors. The .pro files use the data in the .dat files to generate the plots used in the paper as follows: 1. jez4pan.pro: Jez at 4 times in a L-N plane 2. jez26_x_o.pro: Jez in the L-N plane at t=26 and in the M-N plane at the X-line and through the island. 3. 51118shear.pro: Cuts in the N direction through the X and O line at t=26 showing the magnetic field and dnesity . 4. 51118den.pro: Density scale length at the X and O line as a function of time in 3D and a companion 2D run. 5. em_vs_vxb.pro: Cuts in the M direction at the separatrix showing EM and the M component of vxB. 6. 511184ohms_ms.pro: Used to generate two plots showing terms in Ohm's law at both the X-line and through the O-line. The change is made partway through where the location of the cut is defined (line 170 or so) 7. 51118del.pro: Images of fluctuating quantities in the M-N plane at the X-line showing the development of non-LHDI turbulene. 8. 51118anomspace.pro: Image of anomalous terms in generalized Ohm's law at t=26 near the X-line. 9. 51118dene_ms.pro: Electorn density in the M-N plane showing development of strong turbulence at the edges of the island 10. deln_delvperpn_deljem.pro: Line plots in the M direction showing the correlation (or lack thereof) of fluctuating quantities from the turbulence. 11. 51118_turbflux.pro: 2D images in the L-N plane of the turbulent fluxes of particles and momentum showing transport across the separatrices. The other .pro files are auxiliary ones used by IDL while making the plots. They are: cbar2.pro, img_shape.pro, imgunder.pro, legend.pro, maken.pro, pspage.pro, redblue.pro, scalearray.pro, and tvimage.pro. -------------------------- METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION -------------------------- 1. Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: The raw data were extracted from simulations performed by the particle-in-cell code p3d. Due to the size of the output files produced by the code, only a very small subset of data are contained in the .dat files included here. 2. Instrument- or software-specific information needed to interpret the data: The data are in IDL's .dat format. The .pro files are scripts to generate the plots from the .dat files using IDL.
