OMNI, Combined Solar Wind Plasma Moments and Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) Time-Shifted to the Nose of the Earth's Bow Shock, plus Geomagnetic Indices, 1 min Data

Near-Earth Heliospheric Data, OMNI, Definitive Multispacecraft Interplanetary Parameters Data, 1 min averagedAdditional information for all parameters are available from OMNI Data Documentation: https://omniweb..sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/html/HROdocum.htmlNew data may be accesible via the Space Physics Data Facility, SPDF, OMNIWeb Service: https://omniweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/ow_min.htmlThe Modified (Level-3) High Resolution OMNI data files are made in the same format as the OMNI files based on SWE Key Parameter data. There are a few differences between old and new high resolution OMNI data sets:* 1) In the newly modified Level-3 OMNI data files, we used the Wind SWE plasma definitive data rather than the Wind SWE plasma KP-despiked data. Using the definitive data give us possibility to include the Alpha/Proton Density Ratio and to use more accurate plasma parameters. However, the time coverage in the new OMNI data was decreased by from 2% to 10%. See the data description at https://spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/data/omni/high_res_omni/modified/. For detail comparison 1 min SWE definitive and cross-normalized SWE Key Parameter data sets, see https://omniweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/ftpbrowser/wind_pla_def_kp_norm.html.* 2) To keep the number of words and the record lengths the same as in the old OMNI high resolution data set, we replaced the PCN Index (word #45) in the ASCII records with the new Alpha/Proton Density Ratio parameter.* 3) The latest date for these new data is usually behind of the OMNI based on SWE_KP data.Modifications:* 1) Conversion to ISTP/IACG CDFs via SKTEditor, February 2000* 2) Time tags in CDAWeb version were modified to use the CDAWeb convention of having mid-average time tags rather than OMNI original convention of start-of-average time tags, March 2005

ICE SOLAR WIND PLASMA ELECTRON ANALYSER DATA V1.0

These data were obtained from the LANL plasma experiment on ICE (Principal Investigator: S.J. Bame assistance from K. Sofaly and S. Kedge). The instrument measures the 2-D electron distribution function in one spacecraft rotation (3 s) once every 24 s, by obtaining 16 evenly spaced energy spectra, each with 15 contiguous levels covering the energy range 8.5 eV to 1140 eV. From these 2-D distributions the density, velocity, and temperature of the electrons are then derived. A 2-D temperature matrix is calculated which is subsequently diagonalized. Then nominally the maximum temperature corresponds to the parallel temperature and the minimum temperature corresponds to the perpendicular temperature. This is done independently of the magnetic field measurements however, the direction of maximum temperature determined in this manner is usually found to be within 15 degrees of the magnetic field direction inferred from the magnetometer measurements. The time resolution is 24 sec from the start of Day 253 (September 10) until Day 255 (September 12), 18:38. At that time the bit rate dropped from 1024 to 512 bps, and the nominal time resolution went to 48 sec.

ACE Solar Wind Electron, Proton, and Alpha Monitor (SWEPAM) Plasma Moments, Level 2 (H2), 1 h Data

This Data Product contains Measurements from the ACE Solar Wind Electron Proton Alpha Monitor (SWEPAM) Instrument. The Quality of the ACE Level 2 Data are such that it is suitable for serious Scientific Study. However, to avoid Confusion and Misunderstanding, it is recommended that Users consult with the appropriate ACE Team Members before publishing Work derived from the Data. The ACE Team has worked hard to ensure that the Level 2 Data are free from Errors, but the Team cannot accept Responsibility for erroneous Data, or for Misunderstandings about how the Data may be used. This is especially true if the appropriate ACE Team Members are not consulted before Publication. At the very least, Preprints should be forwarded to the ACE Team before Publication.

STEREO-A PLasma and Supra-Thermal Ion Composition (PLASTIC) He+ Pickup Ion (PUI) Solar Wind Frame Velocity Count Distributions and Proton Plasma Densities and Velocities, Level 3 (L3), 5 min Data

This data set presents STEREO-A PLASTIC PickUp Ion, PUI, He⁺ velocity distributions defined at a 5 min time resolution in the solar wind, SW, frame of reference. The velocity distributions are defined as a function of magnitude of the He⁺ PUI velocity vector divided by the solar wind speed in 69 velocity bins. This data set is not efficiency corrected, which has been shown to cause an increased relative count rate in the suprathermal tail region. Observations using this data set should be limited to the core PUI distribution. This data set is released in conjunction with the publication of Bower et al. (2019) to satisfy the American Geophysical Union, AGU, fair use data policy. Funding for this data release was provided by the SR&T Grant NNX16AF79G and the Heliophysics Grand Challenge 80NSSC17K000 at the University of New Hampshire and under DLR-Grant 50 OC 1103 at the Universität Kiel. CJF funded by NASA STEREO Quadrature grant. If these data are used in presentation or publications, we strongly suggest contacting J.S. Bower at jonathan.bower@unh.edu to ensure you are working with the latest release. For reporting purposes, we request bibliography information for any publication, etc., using these data. Please send information on the use of this data to the PLASTIC PI A.B. Galvin at toni.galvin@unh.edu.

ACE Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer (SWICS) Solar Wind Plasma Elemental Charge State Distributions with Statistical Uncertainties and Data Quality Flags, Level 2 (L2), 2 h Data

This ACE SWICS/SWIMS Data Set contains actual Charge State, Q, Distributions of Carbon, Oxygen, Neon, Magnesium, Silicon and Iron as opposed to the averaged Charge States that have been available on CDAWeb for some time. The Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer (SWICS), prior to August 23, 2011 and denoted as SWICS Version 1.1, determines uniquely the Chemical and Ionic Charge State Composition of the Solar Wind, the Temperatures and Mean Speeds of major Solar Wind Ions at all Speeds above 300 km/s for Protons and 170 km/s for Fe+16, and resolves Protons and Helium Isotopes of Solar and Interstellar Sources. SWICS 1.1 measures the Distribution Functions of Interstellar Cloud Pick-Up Ions and Interplanetary Dust Cloud Pick-Up Ions up to Energies of 100 keV/e. The ACE SWICS 1.1 Data Products represent a new Release of the Data with significantly improved Time Series Measurements for the Elemental Abundance, Charge State Composition, and Kinetic Properties of Heavy Ions in the Solar Wind. It is a major new Update produced with completely redesigned Analysis Methods to account more rigorously for Instrumental and Statistical Effects (Shearer et al., 2014). Rare Elements are now identified more reliably and Estimates of Statistical Error are provided. Release Notes are available that describe the Data, the Methods used to determine the Data Values, and Issues concerning Data Quality and Measurement Uncertainty. The Quality of ACE Level 2 Data is such that it is suitable for serious Scientific Study. However, to avoid Confusion and Misunderstanding, it is recommended that Users consult with the appropriate ACE Team Members before publishing Work derived from the Data. The ACE Team has worked hard to ensure that the Level 2 Data are free from Errors, but the Team cannot accept Responsibility for Erroneous Data, or for Misunderstandings about how the Data may be used. This is especially true if the appropriate ACE Team Members are not consulted before Publication. At the very least, Preprints should be forwarded to the ACE Team before Publication.
