Data Set Abstract |
This data set consists of 4-second
edited, wave electric field intensities from the Voyager 1 Plasma Wave
Receiver spectrum analyzer obtained in the vicinity of the Jovian
magnetosphere. For each 4-second interval, a field strength is determined
for each of the 16 spectrum analyzer channels whose center frequencies
range from 10 Hertz to 56.2 kiloHertz and which are logarithmically spaced
in frequency, four channels per decade. The time associated with each set
of intensities (16 channels) is the time of the beginning of the scan.
During data gaps where complete 4-second spectra are missing, no entries
exist in the file, that is, the gaps are not zero-filled or tagged in any
other way. When one or more channels are missing within a scan, the
missing measurements are zero-filled. Data are edited but not calibrated.
The data numbers in this data set can be plotted in raw form for event
searches and simple trend analysis since they are roughly proportional to
the log of the electric field strength. Calibration procedures and tables
are provided for use with this data set; the use of these is described
below. |
