ISEE-2: 60-Second Resolution Solar Wind Magnetic Field Measurements

ISEE-2 satellite tri-axial fluxgate magnetometer data linearly interpolated to 60-second resolution in GSE coordinates. The dataset was constructed by Dr. J.M. Weygand for Prof. R.L. McPherron, the principal investigator of two National Science Foundation studies. It was primarily used for superposed epoch and cross-correlation studies on solar wind phenomena.

Use Cases

• Conduct superposed epoch analysis based on processed solar wind data.
• Perform cross-correlation studies on solar wind parameters.
• Analyze magnetospheric boundary dynamics based on magnetic field measurements.
• Model solar wind-magnetosphere coupling based on interpolated time-series data.

Strengths

• Data is processed and linearly interpolated to a consistent 60-second resolution.
• Originates from a NASA satellite mission and was constructed for NSF-funded research.

Limitations

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