END_OBJECT = TEXT END Ulysses Jupiter Encounter ULYCOSPIN_2 Planetary Data System =========================================================================== Introduction =========================================================================== This single data set volume was originally a part of the remake of the PDS volume ULY_5001 that was produced for the ESA Special Publication 1230. This data set contains data submitted to the Planetary Data System (PDS) by the Ulysses COSPIN investigators, for the Ulysses Jupiter Encounter, 1992-01-25 to 1992-02-17 (days 25-48 inclusive). All data on this volume are from the High Energy Telescope (HET) detector. 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 disk 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. Brief Disk Description This volume is organized into the following principal sub-directories: CATALOG PDS catalog templates describing the Ulysses mission, spacecraft, instrument, data set, key personnel and references DATA science data from the COSPIN (Cosmic Ray and Solar Particle Investigation)instrument. DOCUMENT Contains the published instrument and spacecraft papers INDEX index of all data files contained on this volume More information on directory structure is contained in the section entitled 'Volume Contents and Structure.' Novice users, however, may ignore all files and directories except for the 'Important Files and Directories' listed below. Important Files and Directories All data files are stored in ASCII (.TAB) format files, in the /DATA branch of the directory tree. The content of each data file is described by a detached PDS label file (.LBL). A single format file (.FMT), which is pointed to by the label file (^STRUCTURE), describes the data file's internal structure or record format. The files DATASET.TXT and INFO.TXT provide additional information about data set and directory contents. An *INFO.TXT file (e.g. CATINFO.TXT, etc.), containing a description of the directory tree and sub-directory contents, is located in every directory immediately below the root. The INFO.TXT files provided on selected data sub-directories contain detailed descriptions of the directories on which they are located. =========================================================================== Documents ============================================================================ The document provided on this volume (in the /DOCUMENT sub-directories) include copyrighted materials previously published in Astronomy and Astrophysics Supplement Series, Ulysses Instruments Special Issue, Vol. 92, No. 2, pp 207-440, January 1992. These materials appear with the permission of Astronomy and Astrophysics (A&A). A&A retains Copyright over these articles. Please see the Copyright statement appearing at the beginning of each of the A&A articles. =========================================================================== File Formats ============================================================================ All of the label, table, and text files are ASCII with CR/LF (VAX/IBM-PC) format. All files on this disk are described by detached or combined detached PDS labels. PDS labels have a file extension of '.LBL' and generally have the same name as the file which it describes. All PDS label files on this volume are completely PDS Standards Version 3.2 compliant. Data files are stored in ASCII (.TAB) format. ASCII file records are generally fixed length with space delimited fields or columns. Refer to the label (.LBL) and format (.FMT) files for information about the format and structure of a specific data file. This volume contains copies of documents associated with the data provided. These documents are reproduced in both plain ASCII text (.ASC) and HTML (.HTM) versions. Figures, tables and equations from the original documents have been scanned and are provided in GIF89A format. =========================================================================== Errata =========================================================================== For a description of any errors known at the time of the production of this volume, please refer to the file ERRATA.TXT found on the root directory. =========================================================================== Volume Contents and Structure =========================================================================== The tree diagram below provides a listing and brief description of the contents and key files of the root directory and instrument sub-directories of the /DATA directory. Note that some files may be omitted from this description. Each file on this volume (with the exception of *.CAT files) is associated with a PDS label file (.LBL) which describes its content and characteristics. For more information, please refer to the *INFO.TXT files located on each of the sub-directories of the root directory. Square brackets ([]) denote directories. Please note also that the /DATA directory is listed out of alphabetical order to make this tree more readable.

He was the PPI Node Data Administrator at the time this disk was created and understands as much about the disk structure and data organization as anyone. The construction of the PDS labels and templates was done by Mr. Joe Mafi. Other PPI personnel who may be aware of about issues related to this volume include Dr. Raymond Walker, the PDS/PPI node manager.
