This product, FIPS_NTP_2012273_DDR_V03, was originally released as part
of the PDS3 MESS-E/V/H/SW-EPPS-3-FIPS-DDR-V1.0 data set. The metadata
have been migrated to PDS4. The data themselves are unchanged.

This table contains FIPS ion number densities and temperatures,
as well as the pressure calculated from their product.
Quantities are calculated after sufficient time accumulation
to allow meaningful interpretation.
