DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION |
This data set includes data from the Low Field Magnetometer (LFM)
in the solar wind the near the Uranus encounter. The actual
encounter data (1986-01-24T07:00:00 -> 1986-01-25T04:00:00)
are provided in the Uranus Longitude coordinate system.
The magnetometer data in the solar wind are given in
Heliographic coordinates and the data have
been averaged from the 9.6 second resampled data
to a 48.0 second sampled rate. 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) Bt (tangential
component), 9) Bn (normal 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 Heliographic coordinate system is defined by the
spacecraft centered R, T, N coordinates whose unit vector are:
R - along the Sun-spacecraft line, positive away from the Sun;
T - parallel to Sun's equator, positive in the sense of Jupiter's
motion;
N - equal to R x T.
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.
