Carrington Rotation Plots
Plots of hourly-averaged SWE Key Parameter data (27-day intervals)
are viewable here. The Key Parameter data are generally reliable,
but should be considered to be preliminary. In particular,
when WIND is near perigee, the satellite will not be in the
solar wind interplanetary medium for a number of hours at a time.
At these
rejected times
, the Key Parameter values will not be meaningful.
PLEASE NOTE-
Data are displayed here only for purpose of illustrating
interesting event periods.
The data are preliminary.
For presentations and publications, please acknowledge
Principal Investigator K. W. Ogilvie
(NASA GSFC, 301-286-5904, Keith.W.Ogilvie@nasa.gov),

We would appreciate receiving copies of all presentations,
publications, etc., using these data.

Figure Caption:
Hourly averaged data over the most recent 27-day period available.
(see below for previous data periods)
Display earlier 27-day periods (beginning on the dates
indicated):
Note that these are organized by Carrington Rotation
with 4-day delay to account for the average
Sun-to-Earth solar wind propagation time.
Data Files - Protons
Accessing data using a web browser:
Activating one of the data file links below
will bring up a directory listing of available files.
When the directory listing is displayed,
selecting a file will bring its
contents to the screen.
With the contents displayed on the screen,
the "Save As" option [under the "File" menu for the Netscape
web browser]
will copy the displayed file to your local disk.
Hourly and Daily averages:
Data files of
hourly-averaged SWE proton key parameters
are available by year and
daily-averaged SWE proton key parameters
are available by year and for the mission (1994-present)
.
Times near perigee, when WIND was not in the solar wind,
have been removed from these files.
Daily files - 90 second resolution:
Data files of
SWE proton key parameters
at our highest available time resolution
(approximately 90 seconds)
are available.
Time regressions and single point noise spikes have been removed.
When WIND is near perigee, the satellite will leave the
interplanetary medium and traverse the magnetosheath and magnetosphere.
Those data have been removed;
a list of these
rejected times
is available.
Data Files - Alphas
This service is now available through NASA/Goddard.
http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/space/
under "Access Data by Service",
choose "FTP Browser"
Informal Comments
Informal comments
on observed features (such as shocks and density variations) are available.
Special Events
Electron Moments Data Files
Electron moments for most of the mission are available
from the SWE team.
Time resolution is either 6 or 12 seconds,
depending on the flight operating mode.
Because of the large volume of data involved, we ask that you
contact Dr. Keith Ogilvie (Keith.W.Ogilvie@nasa.gov, 301-286-5904)
directly to request the specific time intervals of electron data desired.
