Ulysses URAP: Peak Electric Field Spectra from the X Antenna

NASA's Ulysses spacecraft collected this plasma wave data via its URAP instrument. The dataset contains 10-minute averages of peak electric field intensities across 16 frequency channels from 0.57 to 35 kHz. Measurements are in units of microvolt/Hz^0.5 and were obtained from the instrument's X antenna.

Use Cases

• Analyzing plasma wave intensity variations based on 10-minute averaged peak electric field data
• Studying frequency spectra of space plasma based on measurements from 16 channels between 0.57 and 35 kHz
• Modeling solar wind interactions based on electric field intensity data from the Ulysses spacecraft
• Correlating plasma wave activity with other spacecraft instrument data based on the 10-minute time intervals

Strengths

• Data originates from the NASA Ulysses mission, a reputable scientific source
• Provides measurements across 16 specific frequency channels
• Data is averaged in consistent 10-minute intervals

Limitations

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