Voyager 1 Plasma Science Experiment (PLS) Saturn Data Bundle Readme
Introduction
============
This document contains information pertaining to the Voyager 1 Plasma Science
Experiment (PLS) Saturn Data Bundle, which contains data recorded during the
Voyager 1 Saturn Encounter and submitted to the Planetary Data System (PDS)
by Voyager PLS investigators. This bundle includes Voyager 1 Saturn derived
plasma electron browse, electron parameters, ion fits browse, ion fits, ion
magnetosheath, ion moments and ion solar wind browse 96 second data. The
Saturn Encounter phases have been defined as 1980-08-22 to 1980-12-14 for
Voyager 1. Most of the instruments on Voyager 1 only recorded Saturn-related
data for a portion of its Encounter Phase. This bundle includes data from
1980-11-11 to 1980-11-21.
This bundle is organized into several collections, including Electron Browse,
Electron Parameters Browse, Ion Fits Browse, Ion Fit Browse, Ion Moments
Browse, Ion Solar Wind Browse, Electron Browse 96 Second Data, Electron
Parameters 96 Second Data, Ion Fits Browse 96 Second Data, Ion Fits 96 Second
Data, Ion Magnetosheath 96 Second Data, Ion Moments 96 Second Data, Ion Solar
Wind Browse 96 Second Data, PLS Faraday Cup Data and document. PDS4
documentation is all XML. There is an XML label for every product in the
archive.
Every effort has been made to insure that the data are of the best quality
available. However, users are encouraged to verify the correctness of the
data prior to submitting any publications or other work based on these
data and report any issues to PDS/PPI.
This is a PDS4 archive of the following PDS data sets:
VG1-S-PLS-5-SUMM-ELE-FIT-96SEC-V1.0 (https://doi.org/10.17189/1519917)
VG1-S-PLS-5-SUMM-ELEFBR-96SEC-V1.0 (https://doi.org/10.17189/1519918)
VG1-S-PLS-5-SUMM-IONFIT-96SEC-V1.0 (https://doi.org/10.17189/1519922)
VG1-S-PLS-5-SUMM-IONMOM-96SEC-V1.0 (https://doi.org/10.17189/1519923)
VG1-S-PLS-5-SUMM-ION-SOLARWIND-96S-V1.0 (https://doi.org/10.17189/1519920)
VG1-S-PLS-5-SUMM-IONFBR-96SEC-V1.0 (https://doi.org/10.17189/1519921)
VG1-S-PLS-5-SUMM-ION-MAGSHEATH-96S-V1.0 (https://doi.org/10.17189/1519919)
These data sets were originally archived under PDS3 in the VG_1601 volume.
Under the PDS3 standard all archives were self contained and could in
principle be stored in a single file system (disk, CD-ROM, etc.). PDS4 takes
advantage of network capabilities that allow archives to be
distributed. As a result, some of the documents and meta data previously
stored in the PDS3 catalog files are no longer maintained locally, but are
maintained in a central repository. Those files are referenced by unique PDS
logical identifiers that are included in the document collection inventory.
