Data Set Abstract This data set contains solar wind plasma data upstream of Jupiter before the Voyager 2 encounter. Fit and moment parameters are given; 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 196 s.
