Updates will be reported in this file. Section A of this file contains an entry for each MESSENGER release with general information about the contents of the release, in order from newest to oldest. Updates to previously released files are reported in these entries, along with any known errata. Section B of this file contains general notes, if any, concerning the archive as a whole. ******** SECTION A ******** RELEASE NUMBER: 16 RELEASE DATE: 2017-05-12 DATA COVERAGE: 2011-03-23 to 2015-03-31 PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: EPPS DDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: EPPS DDR SIS, EPPS EPS data set catalog 1. Modified the DDR SIS document DOCUMENT/DDR_SIS/EPPS_DDR_SIS.* to include a discussion of the Daily Pitch Angle products and miscellaneous other updates as noted in the document revision history. 2. Updated the EPPS EPS data set catalog file under CATALOG. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 15 RELEASE DATE: 2016-05-06 DATA COVERAGE: 2008-01-14 to 2015-04-30 PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: EPPS DDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: EPPS DDR This is the final release for this volume which includes a complete redelivery of all reduced data products. These have been reprocessed using the final SPICE parameters, all final calibrations and corrections, as applicable with the following exceptions: 1) EPS Pitch Angles (EPSP_A) DDR products have been regenerated in the orbital period, i.e. from Mar 24, 2011 through Mar 17, 2014. This delivery also includes EPS Pitch Angles products in the new data period, i.e. from Mar 18, 2014 through Apr 30, 2015 (EOO). 2) There are 2 EPS DDR products that are new, as they have not been previously delivered: EPSP_A2011153DDR EPSP_A2011154DDR This is due to final processing having used more complete SPICE kernels in the generation of these products. 3) All EPS DDR products have PRODUCT_VERSION_ID = "V04", including those in the new data period (and the 2 first-time-released products). 4) There are no EPS Pitch Angles Spectrogram DDR products to be released as part of the Final Delivery 15. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 14 RELEASE DATE: 2015-10-09 Notes: No DDR delivery. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 13 RELEASE DATE: 2015-03-06 DATA COVERAGE: 2011-03-23 to 2014-03-17 PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: EPPS DDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: EPPS DDR This release includes the following updates and product redeliveries: 1) Redelivery of EPS_EPSP products from 2012-03-26 through 2013-03-17 to remove duplicate record entries that resulted from a processing error. Gaps noted in this archive are appropriate and fall into two categories: 1) Small periods where there is no EDR data 2) Larger periods where the regions of interest were not observed Please see the EPPS_DDR_SIS for additional details on new products. Changes in relevant documents: Modified the EDR SIS document "EPPS_EDR_SIS" to remove reference to unused .CSV files and change occurrences of "experimental" to "experiment" in reference to EDRs. Modified the DDR SIS to incorporate updates for new and retired products. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 12 RELEASE DATE: 2014-09-05 DATA COVERAGE: 2013-09-18 to 2014-03-17 PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: EPPS DDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: None. 1) The EPPS_CDR_SIS and EPPS_FIPS_EDR2CDR documents are updated to include information about the FIPS FIPA_F* calibration files and further discussion about FIPS calibration. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 11 RELEASE DATE: 2014-03-07 DATA COVERAGE: 2012-03-26 to 2013-03-17 PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: EPPS DDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: None.

What were originally two subdirectories of data, PITCH_ANGLES and PITCH_ANGLES_SPECTOGRAM have been renamed to DATA (which includes the files from the PITCH_ANGLES directory) and BROWSE (which includes the files from the PITCH_ANGLES_SPECTOGRAM directory).
