ICE Satellite Plasma Wave Electric Field Measurements from September 1985

September 9-14, 1985 electric field data from the ICE satellite's plasma wave instrument, submitted to the National Space Science Data Center. The data was reformatted and submitted posthumously by the Principal Investigator's colleague at TRW. The dataset originates from NASA.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal evolution of plasma wave electric fields based on the specified time interval.
• Study magnetospheric conditions during the September 1985 period based on the satellite measurement context.
• Validate or compare plasma wave models using the reformatted electric field data mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 6-day interval (September 9-14, 1985), providing a focused temporal snapshot.
• Originates from a NASA mission (ICE satellite) and was processed for archival at the National Space Science Data Center.

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.
