VG1 JUP PLS DERIVED ION OUTBND MAGSHTH: Voyager 1 Plasma Data at Jupiter

Voyager 1 Plasma Experiment (PLS) averaged ion data collected during the Jupiter encounter. The dataset contains 96-second averaged measurements in 'm-mode', produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The data was last updated in the repository on 2026-03-13.

Use Cases

• Modeling Jupiter's magnetospheric structure based on averaged ion data.
• Analyzing plasma flow and density around Jupiter based on the 96-second averaged measurements.
• Correlating solar wind interactions with Jupiter's magnetic field based on the derived ion outbound data.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative NASA Voyager 1 mission.
• The dataset is specifically focused on the Jupiter encounter, providing targeted planetary data.
• Last repository update was 2026-03-13, indicating recent metadata maintenance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The license is listed as 'other-license-specified', requiring manual verification of terms.
