Derived parameters are obtained from the following equations. Magnetosonic Mach number = V/Magnetosonic_speedMagnetosonic speed = [(sound speed)**2 + (Alfv speed)**2]**0.5The Alfven speed = 20. * B / N**0.5The sound speed = 0.12 * [T + 1.28*10**5]**0.5
Hourly averaged definitive multispacecraft interplanetary parameters data The Heliographic Inertial (HGI) coordinates are Sun-centered and inertially fixed with respect to an X-axis directed along the intersection line of the ecliptic and solar equatorial planes. The solar equator plane is inclined at 7.25 degrees from the ecliptic. This direction was towards ecliptic longitude of 74.367 degrees on 1 January 1900 at 1200 UT; because of precession of the celestial equator, this longitude increases by 1.4 degrees/century. The Z axis is directed perpendicular and northward from the solar equator, and the Y-axis completes the right-handed set. This system differs from the usual heliographic coordinates (e.g. Carrington longitudes) which are fixed in the frame of the rotating Sun. The RTN system is fixed at a spacecraft (or the planet). The R axis is directed radially away from the Sun, the T axis is the cross product of the solar rotation axis and the R axis, and the N axis is the cross product of the R and T axes. At zero heliographic latitude, when the spacecraft is in the solar equatorial plane, the N and solar rotation axes are parallel. Latitude and longitude angles of solar wind plasma flow are generally measured from the radius vector away from the Sun. In all cases, latitude angles are positive for north-going flow. The flow longitude angles have been treated differently for the near-Earth data, i.e. the OMNI, and for the deep space data. The flow is positive for the near-Earth data when coming from the right side of the Sun as viewed from the Earth, i.e. flowing toward +Y from -X GSE or opposite to the direction of planetary motion. On the other hand, the flow longitudes for the deep space spacecraft use the opposite sign convection, i.e. positive for flow in the +T direction in the RTN system.

The Modified (Level-3) High Resolution OMNI data files are made in the same format as the omni files based on SWE_KP data. There are a few differences between old and new high res. OMNI 1. In the new, modified Level-3 OMNI data files we used the Wind/SWE plasma definitive data rather than the Wind/SWE plasma KP-despiked data. Using the definitive data give us possibility to include the Alpha/Proton Density Ratio and use more accurate plasma parameters. However, the time coverage in the new OMNI data was decreased by 2-10% - see the data description at our FTP site at https://spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/data/omni/high_res_omni/modified/.

To keep the number of words and the records length the same as in the old OMNI high resolution data set we replaced the PCN-index (word #45 ) in the records with the new Alpha/Proton Density Ratio parameter. 3.

The component averages are given in the records but not their individual standard deviations. There are no phase front normal standard deviations in the 5-min records.
