Find a Node - Use these links to navigate to any of the 8 publicly accessible PDS Nodes.

This bar indicates that you are within the PDS enterprise which includes 6 science discipline nodes and 2 support nodes which are overseen by the Project Management Office at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Each node is led by an expert in the subject discipline, supported by an advisory group of other practitioners of that discipline, and subject to selection and approval under a regular NASA Research Announcement.

Data Set Abstract This data set 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 set are included mainly to put the sheath data in context and show magnetopause.
