VG2 SAT PLS DERIVED ION SOLAR WIND 96SEC V1.0

Published by National Aeronautics and Space Administration | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: August 04, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-07-17
This Voyagers 2 data set contains two solar wind plasma data, one spanning from August 19 to September 4 , 1981, and near encounter specific data covering August 24-25. Moment parameters are given in the broader data while the near encounter data is more detailed. The fit parameters assume a convected isotropic proton Maxwellian distribution. Use of fit parameters is recommended as these are normally more accurate. Since only the first 72 or last 72 energy/charge channels are telemetered to Earth from each M-mode spectra, derived parameters change significantly only every other set of spectra so the effective time resolution is 96 second.
