This data set is proprietary and not for distribution. It is submitted by experimenters to NSSDC for the purpose of the Coordinated Data Analysis Workshops (CDAW). The data sets submitted for CDAW are usually small, and the time coverage is usually scanty within the time span indicated. However, this data set (or part of it) may be provided to the general science community through an online data set in CDF format. For more detailed description, as well as access information, please contact the NSSDC Request Coordination Office at request@mail630.gsfc.nasa.gov.
These experimenter-supplied, three-dimensional plasma data are on a binary magnetic tape created on a CDC 6600 computer. The data are written in 15 variable length record cycles. The first record of each cycle is a 15-word header containing day of year, year, radius (earth radii), solar ecliptic and magnetospheric coordinates, and tilt. The next 14 records contain arrays for the following: time of proton measurements (seconds of day); temperature; three-dimensional density, flux, and pressure; three-dimensional energy density and average energy; two-dimensional energy density, average energy, flux, and pressure; three-dimensional flow magnitude; longitude, and latitude. This data set was submitted as input for Coordinated Data Analysis Workshops and consequently only contains discrete periods during the time interval covered.
