Every effort has been made to assure that the data are of the best quality available. However, the PDS and the Planetary Plasma Interactions (PPI) Node in particular, assume no liability for this dataset or its contents. All users are encouraged to verify the "correctness" of the data prior to submitting any publications or other work based on these data. All data files are stored in the 'DATA' branch of the directory tree. Users of these data are encouraged to acknowledge both the PDS and the principal investigators of the instruments whose data is used in analysis in all publications. ============================================================================= Volume Format ============================================================================= The dataset is organized into a hierarchical directory structure which the PPI Node hopes will be both intuitive for the user as well as easy to use. The basic organization of the dataset is as follows: CATALOG containing instrument, data set, spacecraft, and other useful reference information. INDEX Contains a table of contents for all files located on this | volume DATA contains all data DOCUMENT contains textual material that describes instrument and data set. This can include references to science papers, or the actual papers. ============================================================================= File Format ============================================================================= All files in this volume are described by detached version 3.2 PDS labels. Version 3.2 of the PDS label does not support detached TEXT file labels, however, TEXT file labels are detached on this volume. PDS labels are identified by a .LBL file name extension. There is one label file for each text and data file contained on this volume and the file name prefix is the same as the file the label describes. The data on this volume are identified with PDS short labels. The PDS label files are located in the data directory alongside the data files. ============================================================================= Software ============================================================================= There are no software provided on this volume. ============================================================================= Volume Contents and Structure ============================================================================= This section describes the volume structure. Below is a tree diagram of the volume, followed by a description of the directory function. MGN_0001 (root directory) | |- AAREADME.TXT Describes volume contents, organization and use | (this file) | |- ERRATA.TXT Describes known deficiencies or caveats in the data or | on this volume. | |- VOLDESC.CAT High level description of volume contents. | | |- [CATALOG] Information on the data set and how it was processed and | produced. Also contains information regarding the | instrument, personnel involved, and references from | various documents including those contained in the | /CATALOG and /DOCUMENT directories. | |- [DATA] The data files, labels, and format description document are | contained in the DATA sub-directory. Data files have the name | ydddhhmm.ODR where y is the last digit of the year (2), ddd is the | day-of-year, hhmm is the hour and minute of the first record in the | data file. | |- [DOCUMENT] The document directory contains an electronically scanned | version of document RSC 11-10A which describes to structure of the ODR | files (tapes) for the Magellan project. The document is stored | in two different forms: 1) raw ASCII text and 2) the raw scanned image | bit maps in TIF compressed 3 format | |- [INDEX] Contains a table of contents for all files located on this volume ============================================================================= Errata ============================================================================= Every effort has been made to assure 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. There is a file called ERRATA.TXT found at the root level of this volume which contains a list of known deficiencies or caveats associated with data on this volume at the time that it was produced. If you find an error on this volume, please report it to the PDS Operator at the PPI Node of the PDS (contact information below). =========================================================================== Contacts =========================================================================== The person most directly responsible for the construction and release of this volume is Mr. Steven Joy. He was the PPI Node Data Administrator at the time this volume was created and understands as much about the volume structure and data organization as anyone. Other PPI personnel who may be aware of about issues related to this volume include Joe Mafi, Bill Harris, and Dr. Raymond Walker, the PDS/PPI Node manager.
