Description
Epoch, Terrestrial Time 2000, TT2000, Start of Time Domain Sampler, TDS, Event
Caveats
Time at Beginning of TDS Event as measured by the Minor Frame Clock. Thus, the Time Stamps have not been adjusted to correct for the Inherent Positive Definite Rounding Errors due to the Low Resolution of the Minor Frame Clock Times. This will be implemented in Future Versions when the Entire TDS Dataset is released on CDAWeb.

Caveats
The Total Duration of each TDSF Event in Seconds. A single TDSF Event is defined as a Snapshot of two Electric Field Components with the same Event Number occurring on the Same Date. Most TDSF Events were sampled at 120000 Samples per Second, thus will have Durations of roughly 17 ms. However, the longest Duration Events can last upwards of about 1 s.

Spacecraft Spin Rate
Caveats
The Spacecraft, SC, Spin Rate in '/s was determined by using the known Event Duration and Angle subtended during each TDS Event. This Value is accurate to much less than 1', where the Uncertainties arise from the Onboard Sample Rate Clock of the TDS Receiver and Sun Pulse Detector Time Accuracy. The Spin Period in Seconds was then determined by using 360' divided by the Spin Rate Value. Both Values assume that the Spin Rate and Spin Period are constant during the TDS Event, which should be an accurate Assumption for nearly all Events.

Description
Peak Amplitude, Channel 1
Caveats
The Peak Amplitude of the Electric Field Component from the Dust Impact. This is the Peak Amplitude measured during a TDSF Event on both Antenna. This is a Signed Value, that is, Plus, +, or Minus, -. The X-Antenna was first cut on August 3, 2000. It was cut again on September 24, 2002. Currently, the effective Antenna Lengths used are 41.1 m, 3.79 m, and 2.17 m for the X-Antenna, Y-Antenna, and Z-Antenna, respectively, for all Dust Impacts. We have removed these Antenna Length Dependencies, which is why the Amplitude Units are in mV.

Average Clockwise Angle of the Closest Ex Antenna to the Dust Impact from the Earth-Sun Line
Set
Time series defined by using: EPOCH
ParameterKey
Ch1ImpAnt_E_S_Angle
Description
Average Clockwise Angle of the Closest Ex Antenna to the Dust Impact on the Spacecraft Bus from Earth-Sun Line, roughly GSE +X, Channel 1
Caveats
The Angle accounts for the XY-GSE Displacement of Wind but assumes Earth remains at exactly 1 AU always. The Error introduced by not including the Change of the Earth's Radial Position throughout its annual Orbit is less than ~0.017°. The Error introduced by not including the Change of the Spacecraft's Out-of-Ecliptic Displacement is less than ~0.0018°. The Spacecraft, SC, Spin Axis is aligned within ~0.8° of the South Ecliptic Pole. This varies annually due to the Differences in Torque applied to the SC Bus by Solar Radiation. The Angle can be as low as 0.1°. We define Clockwise (CW) Angles as being less than zero for CW Rotations to remain consistent with Euler Angle Notation. We define CW as viewed from the North Ecliptic Pole looking down upon the XY-GSE Plane. All Angles herein vary from 0° to 360°, Absolute Values, thus a positive Counter-Clockwise Angle corresponds to a Clockwise Angle plus 360° that is greater than 0°. The Impact Antenna Angle depends upon the closest Impact Antenna, defined by the CDF Variables Ch01___ImpactAntenna and Ch02___ImpactAntenna. An Example Image illustrating the various Angles within these CDF Files can be found in the Malaspina and Wilson, 2016.

Description
Average Clockwise Angle of +Ex Antenna from the Spacecraft-Sun Line
Caveats
The Angle accounts for the XY-GSE Displacement of Wind but assumes Earth remains at exactly 1 AU always. The Error introduced by not including the Change of the Earth's Radial Position throughout its annual Orbit is less than ~0.017°. The Error introduced by not including the Change of the Spacecraft's Out-of-Ecliptic Displacement is less than ~0.0018°. The Spacecraft, SC, Spin Axis is aligned within ~0.8° of the South Ecliptic Pole. This varies annually due to the Differences in Torque applied to the SC Bus by Solar Radiation. The Angle can be as low as 0.1°. We define Clockwise (CW) Angles as being less than zero for CW Rotations to remain consistent with Euler Angle Notation. We define CW as viewed from the North Ecliptic Pole looking down upon the XY-GSE Plane. All Angles herein vary from 0° to 360°, Absolute Values, thus a positive Counter-Clockwise Angle corresponds to a Clockwise Angle plus 360° that is greater than 0°. The Impact Antenna Angle depends upon the closest Impact Antenna, defined by the CDF Variables Ch01___ImpactAntenna and Ch02___ImpactAntenna. An Example Image illustrating the various Angles within these CDF Files can be found in the Malaspina and Wilson, 2016.

Name
Average Clockwise Angle of the E[x,y] Impact Antenna from the Earth-Sun Angle, Uncertainty
Set
Time series defined by using: EPOCH
ParameterKey
ImpAnt_E_S_Delta_Angle
Description
Average Clockwise Angle of the E[x,y] Impact Antenna from the Earth-Sun Angle, roughly GSE +X, Uncertainty
Caveats
The Impact Angle Uncertainties are mostly controlled by the Quadrant or Hemisphere in which the Dust Impact occurred. This is true for the Ch1ImpAnt_E_S_Angle and Ch2ImpAnt_E_S_Angle. This is roughly ±45°, i.e., Quadrant, for all Events. For the other Sun Angles, that is, Pos_Ax_SCS_Angle, Pos_Ax_E_S_Angle, and Pos_Ay_E_S_Angle, the Uncertainty is controlled by the Spin Rate of the Spacecraft as determined by Event Duration and Angle subtended during an Event multiplied by the TDSF Event Duration plus the DPU Clock Latency Uncertainty, i.e., about 10.6 ms. Thus, this Uncertainty is currently less than 13° for the Worst Case Scenario with Fastest Spin Rate and Slowest Sampling Rate. In the Best Case Scenario and for most Events, the Uncertainties drop to ~3°.
