Quick-Look data products will disappear once the vetted L2 or L3 product are available.

L2 files

Basic Calibrated data in scientific units.

Example:  Magnetometer in spacecraft science coordinates (UVW), HFR spectragrams in spacecraft science cooordinates,  WFR Spectral Matrix in spacecraft science coordinates

L3 files

Science data derived from multiple data sources.

Example: Magnetometer in geophysical coordinates. 

L4 file

Advanced data products

Example:  Wave normal products,  Plasma Density from Upper Hybrid.
