The Code:
The original IDL code was provide by Dan Weimer. James Weygand has ported the code into a Matlab routine. If you want the code E-mail James Weygand.
The Data
Nearly all the data was obtained from Coordinated Data Analysis Web (CDAWeb). Some data was obtained directly from the PIs. Processed and propagated solar wind data available at: The Heliophysics Data Environment.
Propagated Solar Wind Data Availability at 1 min resolution.
