The available magnetic field data from the terrestrial magnetosphere, solar wind and planetary magnetospheres exceeds over $10^6$ hours. Identifying plasma waves in these large sets is a time consuming tedious process. In this Paper, we propose solution to problem. We demonstrate how Self-Organizing Maps can be used for rapid reduction identification of sets. use 72,000 fluxgate 110,000 search ...
