This directory contains the PLS Browse data set which is a set of spectra from selected ion and electron detectors (P2, P4, P6, E4) and energy ranges. The data are provided in a simple tabular format as separate ASCII files (such as ORB_08_1997_124_E4.TAB).

ORB_08_1997_124_E4.TAB translates to:

  orbit 08
  year 1997,
  Day of year 124,
  detector E4

Each data file is described by a detached PDS label (.LBL).

The electron data format is described by PLE_ELEC.FMT.

The the structure of the three ion detector files is identical. The format of these files is included in a separate file (PLS_ION.FMT).

Additional information about these data is available in the data set catalog file GO_PLS_BROWSE_DS.CAT which is located in the CATALOG directory off the root of this disk. Information on the instrument can be found in the Space Science Reviews instrument paper which is located in the DOCUMENT/PLS directory.
