STEREO-A In-Situ Measurements of Solar Wind Plasma and Magnetic Field

STEREO-A satellite in-situ measurements of particles and Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) transients from the IMPACT/MAG and PLASTIC instruments. The dataset contains Level 2 solar wind parameters and magnetic field vector data, produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The dataset was last updated on March 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling solar wind propagation based on in-situ plasma parameters.
• Analyzing magnetic field vector changes during Coronal Mass Ejection transients.
• Studying particle composition and suprathermal ion behavior in the solar wind.

Strengths

• Data originates from the STEREO-A satellite, a dedicated solar observation mission.
• Level 2 processed data likely indicates calibrated and validated measurements.
• Data is produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a trusted source.

Limitations

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