Description

This data product contains 1-m overlapped averages of solar wind
magnetic field (RTN) and plasma data taken by the IMPACT/Magnetometer and PLASTIC
instruments on STEREO-B. The interface allows selection of STEREO A or STEREO B
data and of spacecraft coordinates in any of 5 coordinate systems. It also allows
selection of any of three parameter sets: [V, N, T, entropy, beta, total pressure],
[Bx, By, Bz, |B|, X, Y, Z, R] or [RBx, RBy, RBz, |B|, X, Y, Z, R]. Further, the
interface enables easy migration between plot vs. ASCII data presentation options
and among the three available resolutions (1m, 10m, 1h).

Caveats

Later-processed PLASTIC data is available from UNH. See the relevant VSPO descriptor. PLASTIC data at the UCLA site should not be used.
