Single Wavelength Monitoring Data

Description

These experimenter-supplied, single wavelength monitoring data are on binary magnetic tape created on a PDP 11/34 computer. The tapes are multifiled, with each file containing a seven-word header of Radix-50 title information for internal PDP use followed by an experiment header record and a variable number of logical header and data records of 1024 bytes each. The experiment header record contains tape and experiment identification information, date and orbit number, and satellite positon. A logical header record precedes each data record. It contains the dimension of the logical data array, wavelength information, start time of logical record, absolute and differential temperatures, gate time, true spacecraft mode, calculated actual azimuth and elevation (for raster experiments only), and experiment type. Each data record contains an array of one of the following two experiment types: (1) single wavelength monitoring (repeated observation of the intensity at one wavelength at one positon on the solar disk to monitor changes with time), and (2) single wavelength monitoring with limb offset. Both experiment types are point mode. Data reduction programs for data analysis are available on data set -01I.
