Weygand on 2022-04-13, reviewed and revised by LFB 2026-02-02T13:10:22Z Added MetadataRightsList and RightsList(s). Added ResourceType and NamingAuthority. Updated to 2.7.1. Changed http to https in top-level schemaLocation attribute. Fixed version number separator in top-level schemaLocation attribute. ZCB The dataset contains a list of solar wind current sheet exhaust event data derived from Wind interplanetary magnetic field and solar wind plasma observations. The list is described in a peer reviewed article, Eriksson et al. 2022, titled: Characteristics of Multi-Scale Current Sheets in the Solar Wind at 1 AU Associated with Magnetic Reconnection and the Case for a Heliospheric Current Sheet Avalanche. The data is listed as an ASCII table with eleven columns including the current sheet (CS) start date/time and stop date/time, and the three unit vectors of each CS in a GSE base coordinate system. Here, NGSE is the CS normal direction, LGSE is the direction of the reconnecting component of the magnetic field, and MGSE is the cross-product MGSE = [NGSE cross LGSE] vector.
