dc.description.abstract To date, scientific data analysis is almost exclusively conducted through the visual modality, though the perceptual benefits of multi-modal stimulation are well known [1]. Visualization tools utilize parameters such as color, size, and shape to render data sets of moderate complexity. However, a growing number of NASA instruments produce extremely large and complex data sets that must be visually rendered in groups of sub-dimensions [2]. One such instrument, the Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer (SWICS) on the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) satellite, has measured a large number of solar wind parameters for the last 13 years. The effective navigation and analysis of these massive data sets is a persistent challenge. New data mining tools are necessary in order to fully engage the large number of variables involved with these extremely complex systems. New multi-modal interfaces will have far reaching applications for exploratory heliophysics research. This work will demonstrate that audification is a powerful diagnostic tool for mining and analyzing solar wind data. Through audification, this research has revealed new insight into data parameters used for differentiating solar wind types. For example, an ion charge state ratio previously considered to be unimportant is proving to be a leading indicator of the boundaries between coronal hole and non-coronal hole wind, as discussed below. A deep understanding of space weather, to which the solar wind is a decisive component, will be increasingly important as we continue to explore the space environment. en_US
