ISEE-1 Fast Plasma Experiment Solar Wind Data at 60-Second Resolution

ISEE-1 Fast Plasma Experiment data linearly interpolated to 60-second resolution in GSE coordinates. This processed solar wind dataset was constructed by Dr. J.M. Weygand for Prof. R.L. McPherron's NSF-funded studies. The data were primarily used in superposed epoch and cross correlation studies on solar wind phenomena.

Use Cases

• Conduct superposed epoch studies based on processed solar wind time-series data
• Perform cross correlation analyses based on interpolated plasma measurements
• Analyze solar wind dynamics based on 60-second resolution data
• Model magnetospheric interactions based on plasma data in GSE coordinates

Strengths

• Data is processed and linearly interpolated to a consistent 60-second resolution
• Dataset was constructed for specific NSF-funded research studies (GEM Grant ATM 02-1798 and Space Weather Grant ATM 02-08501)
• Coordinates are specified as GSE, a standard reference frame for space physics

Limitations

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