WISPR Encounter Summaries
To assist the both the scientific community and the general public in understanding and interpreting WISPR observations, we will provide a single-page summary of each PSP/WISPR encounter, listing the main features of note in each data set. Included will be a movie of the Level-3 data for that encounter, notes on solar features (CMEs, outflows, etc), a list of known comet transits, and any instrument or spacecraft operations that affected the appearance or quality of the data. We also provide a comprehensive set of links to all data products for that encounter on each corresponding page. The data for each encounter can also be obtained from the WISPR Data page.
