AMPTE-IRM: Plasma Wave Measurements from Satellite

Plasma wave data from the AMPTE-IRM satellite mission, collected by the University of Iowa. Each file contains waveform series measured in the frequency range from quasi-dc to 5 MHz, recorded over integral one-minute intervals. Each row represents a 10 millisecond waveform series.

Use Cases

• Analyze plasma wave frequency spectra based on the described quasi-dc to 5 MHz range
• Study temporal evolution of wave events based on the one-minute interval recordings
• Process and classify waveform patterns based on the 10 millisecond series per row

Strengths

• Data covers a specific frequency range from quasi-dc to 5 MHz
• Each record contains a discrete 10 millisecond waveform series
• Data originates from a specific satellite mission (AMPTE-IRM) and institution (University of Iowa)

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
