This pull request updates the variable attribute configuration in
imap_ialirt_l1_variable_attrs.yamlto standardize units and clarify descriptions for HIT instrument data. The main changes involve switching theUNITSfield from "counts per second" to "counts" for several variables, and updating someCATDESCdescriptions to better reflect the data and look direction.Units standardization:
UNITSfrom "counts per second" to "counts" for all electron, proton, and helium variables to accurately represent the data as total counts rather than rates. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]Description clarifications:
CATDESCfor electron variables to clarify look direction and particle orientation (e.g., distinguishing between sunward and anti-sunward directions). [1] [2]CATDESCfor proton and helium omni-directional variables to remove references to "sum of particles divided by full sky area" and clarify that the value represents counts. [1] [2]
