Voyager 2 Plasma Experiment (PLS)

This directory provides 96 second averaged Plasma Experiment data during the Voyager 2 Jupiter encounter between 6/25/79 and 8/12/79. There are 5 types of data product. ELE_MOM.TAB contains the electron moment data for 7/6/79-7/9/79. ION_MOM.TAB consists of the ion moment data for 7/4/79-7/10/79. SHEATH_L_MODE_I.TAB has the inbound magnetosheath L-Mode ion data for 7/2/79-7/5/79. SHEATH_L_MODE_II.TAB has the inbound magnetosheath L-Mode ion data for 7/23/79-8/12/79. SHEATH_M_MODE.TAB contains the outbound magnetosheath M-Mode ion data for 7/23/79-8/10/79. Finally SWIND.TAB contains the inbound solar wind data for 6/25/79-7/5/79. Jupiter has a spin period of 10 hours.
