This product, FIPS_FLUXMAP_2012118_DDR_V01, was originally released as part
of the PDS3 MESS-E/V/H/SW-EPPS-3-FIPS-DDR-V2.0 data set. The metadata
have been migrated to PDS4. The data themselves are unchanged.

(cm^2 s keV/keV sr)^-1
2D matrix (MSO lat, MSO lon)
that defines ion flux. Each
dimension is separated into 10
degree bins. Latitude range:
-90, 90 inclusive. Logitude
range: -180, 180. Matrix is
ordered by sequential 36 element
longitude vectors (elements 0-35
are latitude -90, longitude -180
to 180). Each flux vector can be
constructed by multiplying the
cell value (magnitude) by the
cell normal vector (direction).
Each cell normal points away from
the center of the unit sphere.
