5. Ionospheric Pierce Points (IPP) Map
This function considers both spatial and temporal domains, using the Ionospheric Pierce Point concept to represent the ISMR data according to the declared parameters on a map, projecting the IPP path over the selected time interval using aggregation methods.
After selecting the initial parameters, such as the time interval, the user can set as output parameters:

5.1 Field
Here the user selects the field that will be considered when generating the map along with the custom filters chosen earlier.

5.3 Aggregation
Aggregation consists in a way to summarize a comprehensive dataset using specific methods.
