F_max of the arcs found both in the NDA catalog – after our emission selection – and in the ExPRES simulations, in the δt vs. θ_min regions corresponding to the minimum MAD(F_max) values. Left column: histograms of F_max of the modeled Io-DAM emissions (in red) and of their corresponding emissions detected with the NDA (in blue). The dashed lines indicate the location of the mean F_max value of each distribution. The emission type, the δt and θ_min are indicated on top of the histograms. Mid column: scatter plots with the F_max of the Io-DAM arcs observed with the NDA and the F_max of the respective modeled arcs. The emission type, the correlation factor (corr), and the total number (count) of arcs found both in the real data (NDA arcs) and in the simulations (ExPRES) are indicated on top of the plots. Right column: distribution of F_max of all the NDA Io-DAM arcs (in blue) and of the corresponding modeled arcs (ExPRES, in red) as a function of D_E. The lines (in the respective colors) are linear fits to the data. The slopes of the linear fits are indicated on top of the plots (ExP for the modeled emissions – red; and NDA, for the NDA emissions – blue).
