Ulysses URAP WFA: 10-Minute Electric Field Peak Data

The Ulysses URAP Waveform Analyzer dataset contains averages of peak electric field intensities in 10-minute intervals. Frequency spectra are determined from measurements on the Y and Z antenna of the URAP instrument, covering channels from 0.22 to 448 Hz. This data is provided by NASA via the CDAWeb platform.

Use Cases

• Analyzing solar wind plasma wave activity based on electric field intensity averages.
• Studying frequency spectra of electromagnetic waves based on measurements from the Y and Z antenna.
• Modeling space environment conditions based on 10-minute interval peak data.
• Correlating wave intensity with other spacecraft observations based on the unified radio and plasma waves experiment.

Strengths

• Data originates from the NASA Ulysses mission, a recognized scientific source.
• Frequency coverage is specified from 0.22 to 448 Hz.
• Data is averaged in 10-minute intervals, which suggests a consistent temporal resolution.

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.
