AMPTE-UKS: Ion Plasma Moments Averaged Over 5 Seconds

NASA's AMPTE-UKS satellite provides 5-second averaged ion plasma moments. The dataset likely contains measurements of plasma density, temperature, and velocity. It was last updated on March 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling magnetospheric plasma behavior based on averaged ion moments
• Studying solar wind interactions with Earth's magnetic field based on plasma measurements
• Analyzing plasma density and temperature variations over time

Strengths

• Data originates from NASA's AMPTE-UKS satellite mission
• Last updated on March 13, 2026

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
