ISEE-2 Fast Plasma Experiment: Solar Wind Data at 60-Second Resolution

ISEE-2 Fast Plasma Experiment linearly interpolated solar wind data at 60-second resolution in GSM coordinates. The processed data was constructed by Dr. J.M. Weygand for Prof. R.L. McPherron for National Science Foundation studies. It was primarily used in superposed epoch and cross correlation studies on solar wind.

Use Cases

• Perform superposed epoch analysis based on the linearly interpolated solar wind measurements.
• Conduct cross correlation studies based on the 60-second resolution plasma data.
• Analyze solar wind dynamics based on the processed data in GSM coordinates.

Strengths

• Data has been processed to a consistent 60-second resolution via linear interpolation.
• Data is provided in GSM coordinates, 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.
