Dataset of current sheets for "Kinetic-scale current sheets in the solar wind at 5 AU"

Authors/Creators

Description

This is a dataset of current sheets observed aboard Ulysses spacecraft at 5 AU, close to the ecliptic plane and around solar minimum.

The current sheets were collecteed in the time interval of 641 days, from DOY 180 / Year 1997  to DOY 90 / Year 1999. DOY = Day Of Year.

There are several columns in the txt file:
1) Year: 97, 98 and 99 correspond to 1997, 1998 and 1999
2) DOY=Day Of Year
3) Type: 0 means that a current sheet is non-bifurcated, while 1 means it is bifurcated. There are 15,309 non-bifurcated current sheets and 1,594 bifurcated current sheets in this dataset.

4&5) T_left and T_righ are moments of time corresponding to left and right boundaries of a current sheet, the time is in seconds from the beginning of a DOY.
