... Polar Cap Potential . ... The solar wind propagation delay time calculation used here is conceptually similar to the T(IMF) calculation in Kelly, et al. ... The older continuous data are from key parameter data files. ... Note: Very high values of Solar Wind Speed, Solar Wind Pressure, IMF Magnitude and Bz, and Polar Cap Potential are likely indications that WIND has reentered the Earth's magnetosphere; such data is not indicative of solar wind conditions or impending severe geomagnetic disruption. ...
The problem of solar wind data correlation for the observations onboard several spacecraft is very important for three points of view: . ... This problem is studied now in detail by systematic determination of ion flux and ion velocity data correlations by INTERBALL-1 (IKI group), WIND and IMP 8 (both - MIT group). ... Solar wind plasma correlation lengths from IMP 8, WIND and INTERBALL-1. ... Correlation of solar wind observations onboard several spacecraft: INTERBALL-1, IMP 8 and WIND data. ...
... On some space shuttle missions, there are opportunities for observers in the continental United States and Hawaii to see the orbiter fly overhead. ... The second item is a Space Shuttle Mission Chart, which is a Mercator projection map of the world with the orbiter's orbits superimposed on Earth's surface. ... Shuttles are launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, which is at a latitude of 28.5њ north. ... NASA Johnson Space Center . ... You will see that Shuttle orbits just graze the globe...
