Wind 3DP SST Foil Electron Omnidirectional Fluxes

Electron omnidirectional fluxes from 27 to 520 keV, often measured at 24-second intervals, collected by the SST Foil instrument on the Wind spacecraft's 3DP experiment. The data is provided by R. Lin (UC Berkeley) and hosted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The dataset was last updated on March 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Model solar wind electron populations based on omnidirectional flux measurements.
• Study temporal variations in energetic electrons based on 24-second cadence data.
• Analyze electron energy spectra in the 27-520 keV range for space weather research.
• Validate simulations of particle acceleration processes using in-situ satellite data.

Strengths

• Data originates from the Wind spacecraft, a key NASA mission for solar wind studies.
• Flux measurements cover a specific energy range (27-520 keV) relevant to energetic particle research.
• Update timestamp indicates ongoing curation or availability (2026-03-13).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• File formats are BIN and PDF, which may require specialized tools for analysis.
