END_OBJECT = TEXT END This directory contains 5 types of 96 second ion and electron data from the Plasma experiment on Voyager 2 from the Jupiter encounter. The data are provided as 6 ASCII tables, each accompanied by a PDS label (.LBL) which describes properties of the data file. Data file details are as the following: (1) ELE_MOM.TAB, electron moment data covering the period of 1979-07-06 to 1979-07-09; (2) ION_MOM.TAB, ion moment data covering the period of 1979-07-04 to 1979-07-10; (3) Inbound magnetosheath L-mode ion data, SHEATH_L_MODE_I.TAB, covering the period of 1979-07-02 to 1979-07-05; SHEATH_L_MODE_II.TAB, covering the period of 1979-07-23 to 1979-08-12; (4) SHEATH_M_MODE.TAB, outbound magnetosheath M-mode ion data covering the period of 1979-07-23 to 1979-08-10; (5) SWIND.TAB, inbound solar wind ion data covering the period of 1979-06-25 to 1979-07-05.
