Wind WAVES: Electric Field Intensities and Electron Plasma Densities, 3-Minute Data

Wind WAVES instrument key parameter data provides electric field average intensity in dB above background at 76 log-spaced frequencies from 250 Hz to 9.4 MHz. The data is derived from neural network analysis of the in situ electron plasma frequency line. This dataset is produced by NASA and was last updated on March 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze solar wind plasma dynamics based on electron plasma frequency measurements.
• Model radio wave propagation in space based on electric field intensity across 76 frequencies.
• Validate neural network analysis techniques for in situ plasma diagnostics.
• Study correlations between plasma density and electric field intensity in the near-Earth environment.

Strengths

• Data is collected at 76 log-spaced frequencies from 250 Hz to 9.4 MHz.
• Key parameters are derived from neural network analysis.
• Dataset is produced by NASA, a leading space science institution.
• Last updated on March 13, 2026.

Limitations

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