ICE Plasma Wave and Magnetic Field Measurements from September 1985

NASA's ICE spacecraft plasma wave and magnetic field data from September 9-14, 1985, submitted to the National Space Science Data Center. The data were reformatted and submitted posthumously by the Principal Investigator's team at TRW. This dataset represents a specific time interval of space physics measurements.

Use Cases

• Study magnetospheric plasma wave activity based on the described wave data.
• Analyze magnetic field variations in space based on the described magnetic field measurements.
• Conduct time-series analysis of space physics phenomena during the specified September 1985 interval.
• Validate or compare space weather models using historical in-situ spacecraft measurements.

Strengths

• Data originates from NASA's ICE spacecraft, a credible source for space physics.
• Covers a specific, documented 6-day time interval from September 9-14, 1985.
• Submitted to the National Space Science Data Center, a recognized archive.

Limitations

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