Summary

Abstract: The Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) is an Explorer mission that is
being managed by the Office of Space Science Mission and Payload
Development Division of the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA). The primary purpose of ACE is to determine and
compare the isotopic and elemental composition of several distinct
samples of matter, including the solar ...

Quality ACE browse data are designed for monitoring large scale particle and field
behavior and for selecting interesting time periods. The data are automatically
generated from the spacecraft data stream using simple algorithms provided by
the instrument investigators. They are not routinely checked for accuracy and
are subject to revision. Use these data at your own risk, and consult with the
appropriate instrument investigators about citing them.
