Directory "hourly" contains the hourly mean values of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and solar wind plasma parameters measured by various spacecraft near the Earth's orbit, as well as geomagnetic and solar activity indices, and energetic proton fluxes. -------------------------------- 2. Directory "coho1hr_magplasma" contains the hourly mean values of OMNI the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and solar wind plasma parameters converted into RTN coordinate system For more details, see https://omniweb.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/coho/ --------- 3. Directories "hro_1min", "hro_5min" "hro2_1min", "hro2_5min" provide access to high resolution OMNI (HRO) data at 1-min and 5-min resolution. The content and building of high resolution OMNI (HRO) are extensively described at https://omniweb.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/html/HROdocum.html. HRO and related spacecraft-specific data are accessible with multiple functionalities from https://omniweb.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/ow_min.html -- 3a. New high res OMNI data at dirs "hro2_1min", "hro2_5min" provides access to the Modified (new ) High Resolution OMNI (HRO) data set (at 1-min and 5-min resolution) is based on the definitive Wind plasma data set. The main difference between the new and old high res. OMNI data is the following - to create the new OMNI data set we used the definitive Wind/SWE plasma data (shifted to the Bow shock nose ) rather than the Wind/SWE shifted "KP de-spiked" plasma data - they are at "hro_1min", "hro_5min" directories. Using these new hro2 data users can get more accurate plasma parameters and the "Alpha/Proton Density Ratio" parameter (the latter parameter is not available in the SWE_KP data). However, users should keep in mind that the time coverage in the new HRO OMNI data set is decreased by 2-10% (depending on a year), and the latest date in the new data set is usually lags behind of the OMNI data that based on SWE_KP data. ____________________________________________________________________________ Related data and directories: SPDF Data and Orbits Services ------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement: Use of these data in publications should be accompanied by acknowledgements of the Space Physics Data Facility(SPDF) and --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authorizing NASA Official: Robert Candey, Head, SPDF, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center e-mail: Robert.M.Candey@nasa.gov -----------------------------------------------------------------
