INSTRUMENT: LANL Fast Plasma & Solar Wind:
DATA SET: xfan_ascii
NSSDC ID: SPMS-00148
OLD NSSDC ID: 77-102A-01N
 Cross-fan analyzer. Solar wind data for solar wind seasons June/July through
 December/January of years 1977 - 1983 (in some years the season extends into
 the following January).  Last date: Jan. 28, 1984. Time resolution is 24 or 48
 seconds. Data parameters are: the proton density, bulk flow speed, flow
 azimuth, flow latitude, the minimum proton temperature, and the alpha/proton
 fraction. A data inventory is available, listing the days for which at least
 some data exist.

 The data files are contained in directories named for the year of the data.
 Each file contain data for one day. Because there is solar wind data for only
 about 6-7 months of the year (roughly June/July through December/January),
 there are only about 200 one-day files for any year, not 365.

INVENTORY for these data is available at
<https://spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/documents/old/miscellaneous_documents_from_nssdc/b46631.txt>. The
inventory is about 18 pages of ASCII text, with a line for each day for which
there are data.

DOCUMENTATION for these data is available at
<https://spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/documents/old/miscellaneous_documents_from_nssdc/b44509.txt>.

The documentation is about two pages of ASCII text.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SOFTWARE is available for these data as follows:

 XFAN_LIST is a Fortran source program that runs on a VAX/VMS system.
 It reads the data files and writes to the screen with each 85-byte input
 record displayed in two lines, to accommodate screens with limited line size.
