3914-A and 5577-A Intensity Maps

Description

This data set, supplied by the principal investigator, provides auroral and airglow emissions at 5577 and 3914 A over the portion of the dark earth visible from the spacecraft. The data set is on a binary magnetic tape, written on an IBM 370 computer. Each file contains data from one processed pass, and consists of six records. One record contains a table of limb-crossing times and spacecraft orbital parameters. The remaining records consist of spin maps of geographic latitude and longitude, and of intensity measurements at 5577 and 3914 A. The first column of the table gives the spin number. Other column headings include universal time, geographic and magnetic latitude and longitude of the spacecraft, the McIlwain's L-shell va lue, and the solar zenith angle. The spin maps for the 6300-A emission (data set 71-024A-12A) are on the same magnetic tape. Each spin map is a matrix having 40 columns and a number of rows equal to the number of spacecraft rotations. A given row and column element has the same look point in all spin maps.
