1. Introduction

This volume contains Voyager 1 and 2 PLS solar wind data. This consists of 
full resolution data and hourly and daily averages. 

This volume is still in development and has not been fully documented or 
peer-reviewed.  Use with caution.


This volume complies with Planetary Data System (PDS) standards, Version
3.6, described in Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) document JPL D-7669.


2. Volume format

The disk is organized into a hierarchical directory structure. The disk
contains both the Universal Disk Format (UDF) and the ISO 9660 (level 2)
file system standards in order to accommodate users on a wide variety of
platforms.


3. File formats

The data files on this volume are provided as ASCII text files with 
detached labels (.LBL) and detached format files (.FMT).

Document files describing the data are included in the volume.  These 
files are given in ASCII formats.

Text files and detached label files contain 80-byte fixed-length ASCII
records, with a carriage-return character (ASCII 13) in the 79th byte and a
line-feed character (ASCII 10) in the 80th byte.  This format allows the
files to be read by MacOS, DOS, UNIX and VMS operating systems.


4. Volume contents

The files on this volume are organised into one Root directory containing
several subdirectories. The following table shows the structure and content
of these directories. In the table, directory names are enclosed in square
brackets, upper-case letters indicate an actual directory or file name, and
lower-case letters indicate the general form of a set of directories or file
names.

5. Errata

Every effort has been made to ensure that the data and documentation are of
the best possible quality. However, mistakes are inevitable. The PPI Node of
the PDS will maintain an online list of ERRATA where errors and updates are
documented. Should any user of this product find an error on this volume,
please report the error to the PPI Node so that the finding can be made
public. All users are encouraged to verify the correctness of the data prior
to submitting any publications or other work based on these data.

If you find an error on this disk, please report the error to the PDS
Operator at the PPI Node of the PDS.
