IMP 7 LANL: 2-Minute Solar Wind Plasma Parameters

IMP 7 satellite data from NASA provides solar wind plasma parameters at a 2-minute resolution. The dataset includes measurements of temperature anisotropy and the alpha-to-proton ratio. It was last updated on March 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling solar wind propagation based on plasma parameter time-series.
• Analyzing plasma temperature anisotropy for magnetospheric studies.
• Investigating solar wind composition based on alpha/proton ratio data.

Strengths

• Data originates from NASA, an authoritative space agency.
• Includes specific parameters like temperature anisotropy and alpha/proton ratio.

Limitations

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