Data and Code Supporting "Ponderomotive Generation of Density Cavities from Kinetic Alfvén Wave–Slow-Mode Coupling in Earth's High-β Plasma Sheet"
Year: 2026
Type: dataset
Abstract: This repository contains the data and code supporting the manuscript “Ponderomotive Generation of Density Cavities from Kinetic Alfvén Wave–Slow-Mode Coupling in Earth’s High-β Plasma Sheet,” submitted to JGR: Space Physics. The deposit contains the reduced two-fluid model implementation, simulation outputs and derived diagnostics, run configurations, observational analysis scripts, and scripts used to generate the figures presented in the manuscript. The final versions of the eight manuscript figures are also included. The original MMS spacecraft measurements are not redistributed. They are publicly available from the MMS Science Data Center and NASA CDAWeb. The observational reduction scripts included in this repository use PySPEDAS to access the MMS intervals specified in the manuscript. Derived observational products required to reproduce and verify the reported results are included in the deposit. Detailed instructions for reproducing the simulations, figures, and reported numerical values are provided in README.md and INSTRUCTIONS.md.
