Ulysses URAP: 10-Minute Averaged Radio and Plasma Wave Intensities

Ulysses URAP digital data provides averaged radio and plasma wave intensities from the Ulysses spacecraft. The data includes 10-minute averaged and peak intensities, as well as 144-second averaged radio intensities, processed via the Ulysses Data System. It is hosted by the European Space Agency and originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyze solar wind plasma wave activity based on averaged intensity data
• Study radio wave propagation in the heliosphere based on peak intensity measurements
• Model space weather effects based on time-series wave intensity data
• Validate spacecraft instrument performance based on calibrated wave data

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative National Aeronautics and Space Administration
• Includes both 10-minute averaged and 144-second averaged time-series for different analysis granularities

Limitations

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