NAME Voyager 2 Plasma Derived Ion Outbound Magnetosheath M-Mode 96 Second Jupiter Data Collection
TYPE Data
DESCRIPTION This collection contains plasma parameters from Voyager 2 outbound from Jupiter from the magnetotail through the solar wind. Fit and moment parameters are given; the fit parameters assume a single, isotropic convected proton Maxwellian distribution. Although magnetotail data is provided, these data are unreliable; the density can be used as an upper limit to the actual density. Solar wind data are also provided and are reliable. These M mode data are the best data to use in most regions of the magnetosheath. Magnetotail data in this data collection are included mainly to put the sheath data in context and show magnetopause.
