Data Access
This data set contains 24s (fast data rate) or 48s (slow
rate) solar wind ion plasma parameters obtained during 1977-1983 solar wind
seasons (~July - ~January) when the spacecraft's local time of apogee was on
the Earth's dayside. Plasma parameters include ion density, flow speed, flow
longitude and latitude angles, perpendicular (minimum) and parallel (maximum)
temperatures, and alpha-to-proton density ratio. Data are available through
the CDAWeb interface and, as daily files via ftp, in ASCII from nssdcftp and
in CDF from CDAWeb's ftp area. The data are from LANL's Cross-Fan Solar Wind
Ion Experiment, a companion to LANL's Fast Plasma Analyzer (FPE).

Zero degrees is flow from the sun, aberration-
corrected. Positive for flow towards dawn
Zero degrees for flow in ecliptic plane.
Positive for flow towards south
Temperature minimum, typically T-perp.
Temperature minimum, typically T-parallel.
Alpha particle to proton density ratio, often
not determinable
