Wind 3DP: Solar Wind Plasma Data at 60-Second Resolution

Wind linearly interpolated 60 s resolution 3DP data in GSE coordinates provides processed solar wind measurements at one-minute intervals. This dataset was constructed by Dr. J.M. Weygand for Prof. R.L. McPherron, the principal investigator of two National Science Foundation studies. The data were primarily used in superposed epoch and cross-correlation studies on solar wind.

Use Cases

• Conducting superposed epoch studies based on the processed, interpolated solar wind data.
• Performing cross-correlation analyses on solar wind parameters based on the one-minute resolution time series.
• Modeling space weather events based on the linearly interpolated plasma measurements from the Wind spacecraft.

Strengths

• Data is processed and linearly interpolated to a consistent 60-second resolution.
• Dataset was constructed for and used in specific NSF-funded research studies (GEM Grant ATM 02-1798 and Space Weather Grant ATM 02-08501).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and data volume are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
