This directory contains the PVO Electron Temperature Probe (OETP)
bowshock location dataset. This dataset contains the parameters associated
with the location of both inbound and outbound crossings, whenever they can
be determined. For many orbits only one of the crossings (or neither) can be
identified. A complete description of the dataset is contained in the file 
DATASET.TXT.

The data are provided in a single ASCII table (BOWSHOCK.TAB).
The data file has a detached PDS label file (.LBL) which describes some of 
the physical properties of the data.  There is a single format file (.FMT) which
describes the columns of the data files.


Columns in all data files:

in_secs   integer    second      Inbound crossing second-of-day
in_time   char       N/A         Inbound crossing time HH:MM:SS
in_lat    float      degree      Inbound crossing latitude
in_lst    float      hour        Inbound crossing local solar time
in_alt    float      km          Inbound crossing altitude
in_sza    float      degree      Inbound crossing solar zenith angle
out_secs  integer    second      Outbound crossing second-of-day
out_time  char       N/A         Outbound crossing time HH:MM:SS

out_alt   float      km          Outbound crossing altitude
out_sza   float      degree      Outbound crossing solar zenith angle

Any data column whose value is 0 is a missing data value.
