WIND Key Parameter Survey Plots

NOTE that the ISTP Key Parameter data is provided as a BROWSE product, intended to aid in the selection of intervals for futher study. As such, Key Parameter data should not be used for publiction without prior consent from the appropriate Principal Investigator(s).

Plot Format

The WIND survey plots show, from top to bottom :

• Dynamic pressure in nPa
• Magnetic field magnitude |B| and Bz component (GSM), in nT
• Magnetic field polar angle theta in degrees
• Magnetic field polar angle phi in degrees
• Plasma bulk speed in km/sec
• Proton number density in particles/cc
• Plasma flow polar angle theta (GSE) in degrees
• Plasma flow polar angle phi (GSE) in degrees
• Plasma thermal speed in km/sec
• Electric field componet Ey = Vx Bz in mV/m

For reference, the generation date for the plot, strings identifying the CDF files used to generate the plot are included under the time and position labels.
