Solar wind in situ data suitable for machine learning (python numpy structured arrays): STEREO-A/B, Wind, Parker Solar Probe, Ulysses, Venus Express, MESSENGER
These are solar wind in situ data arrays in python pickle format suitable for machine learning, i.e. the arrays consist only of numbers, no strings and no datetime objects. See AAREADME_insitu_ML.txt for more explanation. If you use these data for peer reviewed scientific publications, please get in touch concerning usage and possible co-authorship by the authors (C.

Variable 'hpsp' contains a header with the variable names and units for each column. Coordinate systems for magnetic field components are RTN (Ulysses), SCEQ (Parker Solar Probe, STEREO-A/B, VEX, MESSENGER), HEEQ (Wind) available parameters: bt = total magnetic fieldbxyz = magnetic field componentsvt = total proton speedvxyz = velocity components (only for PSP)np = proton densitytp = proton temperaturexyz = spacecraft position in HEEQr, lat, lon = spherical coordinates of position in HEEQ
