Description
Wind SWE electron pitch angle product providing electron fluxes at 30 directional bins relative to the instantaneous magnetic field direction at 16 different energy levels from the old mode (VEIS-era) of the electron instrument. The electron pitch-angle distributions included in this data set are derived from sorting, by pitch (wrt B) and energy, the solar wind electron distributions measured by the Wind/SWE electron instrument (see Ogilvie et al., "SWE, a comprehensive plasma instrument for the Wind spacecraft", Space Sci. Rev., 71, 55, 1955). Pitch-angle distrubutions, organized by energy, are computed from 3s measurements which are spaced either 6s or 12s in time. These quantities are reliable and citable with caution, meaning that the PI advises that the user should discuss their interpretations with a member of the SWE science team before publishing. The following comments are intended to aid in the use and interpretation of the electron pitch-angle distributions reported in this data set. For each 'energy spectrum', observations are made at 16 energy channels ranging from about 10 eV to as much as 3 keV. The exact energies at which observations are made is time-varying, and this data set reports the energy each channel observes (along with the observations themselves) at any time. The observations made at each energy are sorted into pitch-angle bins, six degrees in width, from 0 degrees (flux nearly parallel to B) to 180 degrees (flux nearly anti-parallel with B). A "spin-averaged" set of observations (aggregated from all pitch-angle bins, each energy) is also reported, one value for each energy channel. The value reported for any bin (including the spin-averaged "energy bins") is given as a phase-space density, f [#/{cc*(cm/s)^3}], averaged over contributing detectors. The data set reported here contains: f_pitch_E00, f_pitch_E01, f_pitch_E02, f_pitch_E03, f_pitch_E04, f_pitch_E05, f_pitch_E06, f_pitch_E07, f_pitch_E08, f_pitch_E09, f_pitch_E10, f_pitch_E11, f_pitch_E12, f_pitch_E13, f_pitch_E14, f_pitch_E15 (the pitch-angle distributions for each energy channel, with 30 pitch-angle bins for each), and f_pitch_SPA (with 16 spin-averaged energy bins). For reference, the electron speeds ( V , in cm/s) corresponding to the energy channels used, are reported in this data set.

Description
Wind SWE electron pitch angle product providing electron fluxes at 30 directional bins relative to the instantaneous magnetic field direction at 16 different energy levels from the old mode (VEIS-era) of the electron instrument. The electron pitch-angle distributions included in this data set are derived from sorting, by pitch (wrt B) and energy, the solar wind electron distributions measured by the Wind/SWE electron instrument (see Ogilvie et al., "SWE, a comprehensive plasma instrument for the Wind spacecraft", Space Sci. Rev., 71, 55, 1955). Pitch-angle distrubutions, organized by energy, are computed from 3s measurements which are spaced either 6s or 12s in time. These quantities are reliable and citable with caution, meaning that the PI advises that the user should discuss their interpretations with a member of the SWE science team before publishing. The following comments are intended to aid in the use and interpretation of the electron pitch-angle distributions reported in this data set. For each 'energy spectrum', observations are made at 16 energy channels ranging from about 10 eV to as much as 3 keV. The exact energies at which observations are made is time-varying, and this data set reports the energy each channel observes (along with the observations themselves) at any time. The observations made at each energy are sorted into pitch-angle bins, six degrees in width, from 0 degrees (flux nearly parallel to B) to 180 degrees (flux nearly anti-parallel with B). A "spin-averaged" set of observations (aggregated from all pitch-angle bins, each energy) is also reported, one value for each energy channel. The value reported for any bin (including the spin-averaged "energy bins") is given as a phase-space density, f [#/{cc*(cm/s)^3}], averaged over contributing detectors. The data set reported here contains: f_pitch_E00, f_pitch_E01, f_pitch_E02, f_pitch_E03, f_pitch_E04, f_pitch_E05, f_pitch_E06, f_pitch_E07, f_pitch_E08, f_pitch_E09, f_pitch_E10, f_pitch_E11, f_pitch_E12, f_pitch_E13, f_pitch_E14, f_pitch_E15 (the pitch-angle distributions for each energy channel, with 30 pitch-angle bins for each), and f_pitch_SPA (with 16 spin-averaged energy bins). For reference, the electron speeds ( V , in cm/s) corresponding to the energy channels used, are reported in this data set.
