Spacecraft potential estimates from LAP and ICA. Coloured circles are the spacecraft potential estimates from LAP, coloured according to data source. Red circles are derived from Vf. Yellow, blue, and green circles are all derived from Vz, but green indicates values that are extrapolated beyond the sweep range and blue indicates sweeps with several zero-crossings (i.e. disturbances). The blue line is a −3.8 V offset-corrected ICA estimate derived from the negative of the lowest energy bin with at least five ion detections and filtered using a 50-point moving average. We note that there are no obvious discontinuities in moving from Vz to Vf.
