DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION |
This data set includes data from the Low Field Magnetometer (LFM)
in the solar wind during the Uranus encounter. The
encounter data (1986-01-24T07:00:00 -> 1986-01-25T04:00:00)
have been averaged from the 1.92 second averaged data
to a 9.6 second resampled rate and
are provided in the Uranus Longitude (U1) coordinate system.
Magnetometer data in the solar wind are given in Heliographic
coordinates and are also available in a separate dataset.
The dataset consists of the following columns:
1) ctime (decimal seconds since 1966-01-01T00:00:00.000),
2) pdstime (ISO standard time format),
3-5) spacecraft clock (m65536,m60,fds-line),
6) magnetometer id (1 = LFM, 2 = HFM),
7) Br (radial component),
8) Bphi (longitudinal component),
9) Btheta (colatitudinal component),
10) Bmag (magnitude of the average components),
11) avg_Bmag (average of the magnitude of the raw components),
12) Lambda (longitude = tan^-1(Bt/Br)),
13) Delta (latitude = sin^-1(Bn/avg_Bmag) ),
14-16) rms vector (Pythagorean root mean square deviation
of the component averages),
17) npts (number of points in average),
18) flag a character string which indicates software or
s/c hardware intervention which reduces confidence
in the data (NULL flags represent 'good' data).
The U1 coordinate system is a non-inertial spherical coordinate
system that rotates with Uranus with a period of
17.24 hours. The system components are:
R - Radial along the Uranus-S/C line, positive away from Uranus,
Phi - east longitudinal component,
Theta - colatitudinal component.
An ancillary data file containing the derived spacecraft
magnetic field is provided with this data at a 48 second
sample rate. These data provide zero level offsets used in
the data processing. S/C field data is provided in spacecraft
coordinates.
