These analyzed data, supplied by the experimenter, consist of time-ordered hourly averages of the following solar wind parameters: the alpha/proton number density ratio, the proton number density, the alpha particle temperature (deg K), the proton temperature (deg K), the bulk velocity (km/s), the azimuthal angle (solar ecliptic longitude) of the peak particle flux (deg), and the polar angle (solar ecliptic latitude) of the peak particle flux (deg). The above plasma parameters are good to 10%. The data were derived by the experimenter based on the assumption of an isotropic Maxwellian distribution function (in the frame moving with the bulk solar wind velocity). The data are contained on one IBM 360 binary magnetic tape. The tape is written with variable length unblocked records. The data consist of all the high bit rate data and have a 90% coverage over the period indicated. A microfilmed computer listing of the tape is available at NSSDC as 66-075A-03D.
