420 Sudden Impulses of Solar Wind Dynamic Pressure events recorded between January 1998 and December 2004. The database includes plasma and IMF data from ACE and WIND spacecraft, AE index, and SuperDARN radar data in two-hour windows centered on each event. It was developed by SCIOPS for studying Solar-Terrestrial Relations.
Use Cases
- Classifying abrupt solar wind pressure events based on the catalog of 420 Sudden Impulses.
- Analyzing correlations between solar wind pressure and ionospheric convection based on SuperDARN radar data.
- Investigating connections between pressure impulses and concurrent Interplanetary Magnetic Field variations.
- Studying energy transfer dynamics between the solar wind, magnetosphere, and ionosphere.
Strengths
- Contains 420 specific events of Sudden Impulses with defined criteria.
- Integrates data from multiple sources: spacecraft (ACE, WIND), AE index, and SuperDARN radar networks.
- Events are centered on two-hour data windows, providing contextual data.
Limitations
- Last updated 2004-12-31 23:59:59.999000; freshness should be verified.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
