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.
