Ulysses URAP: Peak Electric Field Data from 1.25-940 kHz

10-minute averages of peak electric field intensities measured by the Ulysses spacecraft's URAP instrument. The data, provided via CDAWeb, covers a frequency channel from 1.25 to 940.0 kHz and is measured in units of microvolt/Hz^0.5 on the X antenna. The dataset was last updated on March 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing solar wind plasma wave activity based on electric field intensity averages.
• Studying radio emission spectra in the 1.25-940 kHz range based on frequency channel data.
• Correlating spacecraft position with wave intensity based on time-series measurements.
• Modeling signal propagation in space based on antenna-specific (X antenna) measurements.

Strengths

• Data originates from the NASA Ulysses mission, a recognized scientific spacecraft.
• Provides averaged measurements in a specific 10-minute interval, likely reducing noise.
• Focuses on a defined frequency range (1.25-940 kHz) for spectral analysis.

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.
