| Data Set Abstract |
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. |
