Voyager 2 Plasma Spectrometer (PLS) High Resolution Plasma Density, Thermal Speed, and Velocity (RTN) Data in CDF Format

Voyager 2 High-Resolution Plasma Data. The files in this directory contain the Voyager fine resolution plasma data. The plasma parameters are obtained by finding the best fit of a convected isotropic Maxwellian distribution to the data. One sigma errors are typically less than 0.5% in the speed and VR, less than 5% for the density and thermal speed, and vary greatly for VT and VN. Sampling times range from 12 to 192 sec., with sampling generally more frequent early in the mission. The velocity components are given in the RTN coordinate system, where R is radially outward, T is in a plane parallel to the solar equatorial plane and positive in the direction of solar rotation, and N completes a right-handed system. Warning: the V_t and V_n parameters are often not reliable after 1989. Please consult with us, or at least send preprints, when you use these data to prevent grievous errors or misconceptions, John Richardson, [e-mail].

旅行者2号高分辨率等离子体数据集。本目录中的文件包含旅行者号精细分辨率等离子体数据。通过将对流各向同性麦克斯韦分布的最佳拟合值应用于数据，获得等离子体参数。速度和VR参数的一sigma误差通常小于0.5%，密度和热速度参数小于5%，而VT和VN参数的误差则变化较大。采样时间介于12至192秒之间，在任务早期采样频率通常较高。速度分量以RTN坐标系给出，其中R表示径向向外，T位于与太阳赤道面平行的平面内，且在太阳自转方向上为正值，N则构成了一个右手坐标系。请注意：自1989年以来，V_t和V_n参数的可靠性往往不高。在使用这些数据时，请咨询我们，或至少发送预印本，以避免严重错误或误解，John Richardson，[e-mail]。
