This directory provides access to the following files: heliospheric_data - a subdirectory with the data file related to measurement of particles at large distances from the Earth. KS-18-M is an instrument that provided these data from the high-altitude satellite GRANAT. Geographic coordinates of the spacecraft are also given there; magnetospheric_data - the same as above but the contents relates to passages through the radiation belts. Geomagnetic coordinates are added to each record in this case; c9_descr.txt - detailed documentation. Splitting of the data to the mentioned directories has been made with use of computed parameter of L-shell. The computation is based on the IGRF model of the geomagnetic field for respective epoch. L=15 is a separator, although for several orbits, a zone of magnetospheric data is additionally extended. ******************************************************************************* * DISCLAIMER: All data on trapped particles acquired with use of KS-18-M * * are very imperfect since this instrumentation package * * has not been designed for measuring in radiation belts at all. * ******************************************************************************* Common important information on all data sets from TASPD SINP MSU, is placed in the file common_info.txt in upper-level directory.
