Ulysses magnetic field 1-hr data

Published by NASA Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF) Data Services | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: June 16, 2026 at 09:37 PM | Dataset Last Updated: June 15, 2026
This data set contains high resolution samples at about one-hour intervals 1hrof the interplanetary magnetic field measured by the Ulysses Magnetic Field experiment. Field vector components are given in units ofnanoteslas and in RTN coordinates, where R is the radial component or the sun-s/c axis, T is the transverse (along-track) component or the cross product of the solar rotation axis and R, and N is the normal (cross-track) component or the cross product of R and T. The field magnitudes in nT are averages of scalar magnitudes at higher time resolution. Times are computed at the mid-point of each \nminute interval and expressed in Spacecraft Event Time - UT (SCET-UT). Data gaps have not been flagged in any way - if there were no available data in a particular hour then there is no data record for that hour. No data from the Feb. 1992 encounter with Jupiter are included. Each file includes one day of data. Further details on the magnetic field measurements can be found in the following reference: Balogh, A., et al., Astron. Astrophys. Suppl. Ser., 92(2), 221, 1992.
