Ulysses URAP: Electric Field Intensity Spectra in 10-Minute Intervals

Electric field intensity frequency spectra from the Ulysses spacecraft's URAP instrument. The data contains averaged values in 10-minute intervals for the X antenna, measured in microvolt/Hz^0.5 across a frequency channel from 1.25 to 940.0 kHz. The dataset is provided by NASA via the CDAWeb platform.

Use Cases

• Analyze plasma wave activity in the solar wind based on electric field intensity spectra.
• Study radio emission frequency distributions based on averaged 10-minute interval data.
• Model spacecraft instrument performance based on measurements from the URAP X antenna.
• Correlate space weather events with radio wave signatures based on the 1.25-940.0 kHz frequency channel.

Strengths

• Data originates from the NASA Ulysses spacecraft mission.
• Frequency spectra are provided for a specific channel from 1.25 to 940.0 kHz.
• Measurements are 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.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
