This data set contains three-dimensional measurements of ions from two Faraday Cups onboard the WIND SWE (Solar Wind Experiment) in the energy range 150 eV to 8 keV. Placed 15 degree above and below equatorial plane of the spacecraft, the Faraday Cups provide positive ion charge flux in picoAmperes as a function of epoch, cup number, orientation angle, and bias grid potential. For each time point, a full spectrum is comprised of charge flux measurements at the two Faraday Cup sensors at 20 azimuth angles for each of 31 energy-per-charge windows (1240 data points per spectrum). Spectra are built up over approximately 92-second intervals. The effective area of the Faraday Cup sensor as a function of incidence angle onto the cup is also provided. See more in Ogilvie et al., "SWE, a comprehensive plasma instrument for the WIND spacecraft", Space Sci. Rev., 71, 55, 1995.
