Ulysses URAP: 10-Min Magnetic Field Peak Data from Satellite

NASA's Ulysses satellite URAP experiment provides averaged peak magnetic field intensities in 10-minute intervals. The Waveform Analyzer (WFA) data includes frequency spectra from 0.22 to 448 Hz, measured on the Y and Z antenna. Data is hosted via CDAWeb and last updated on March 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing magnetic field wave intensity variations based on 10-minute averaged peak data
• Studying frequency spectra of plasma waves based on measurements from the Y and Z antenna
• Correlating magnetic field activity with other spacecraft observations based on the URAP experiment data

Strengths

• Data originates from the NASA Ulysses mission, a definitive source for heliospheric science
• Frequency spectra cover a defined range from 0.22 to 448 Hz
• 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
