Ion and Electron Data

Description

These positive ion data are on binary magnetic tape written on an IBM 360/65 computer, and they were supplied by the principal investigator. These are variable length records. The data contain Julian day, calendar day, month, and year; time of day in hours, minutes, seconds; orbit number; sidereal angle; coordinate X, Y, Z spin axis and sun vectors; spin rate; 8.5- and and 10.5-kHz amplitude (mV); positive and negative 6-V monitor; preamplifier and package temperatures; bias voltage and 3.2-kHz amplitude. Also included in each physical record are the amplitude and voltage of the light ion peak, amplitude and voltage of heavy ion peak, electron temperature and density, space potential, elapsed orbital time of sweep in seconds, fluctuations of the spin modulation amplitude, derived scale height, longitude, altitude, velocity, angle of attack of spin axis, invariant latitude, temperature computation status, and the sunlight/darkness flags.
