BackForward Variable: Solar wind temperature

Definition
Full name Solar wind temperature
Definition Temperature of solar wind protons
Measuring Units K Uncertainty Units %
Horizontal Res Units Vertical Res Units
Stability Units % (Stability /decade)

 

Comment: Typically measured at the L1 Lagrange point, but also valuable at other locations such as the L5 Lagrange point. Derived from measurements of electron and ion fluxes in the low-energy solar wind range (electrons: 1 to 1240 eV; ions: 0.26 to 35 keV).
