This data set contains the detector pass count and detector noise maps for all 430 IRAS Sky Survey Atlas (ISSA) fields, including the Reject fields. For each field, count and noise maps are included for each of the four IRAS bands (12, 25, 60, and 100 microns) and for each of the three sky coverages, plus the overall combined sky coverage. These maps complement the already widely-distributed ISSA intensity maps. They are in FITS format and have the same projections, dimensions, and centers as the corresponding ISSA intensity maps. On the tapes, the files for each ISSA field are stored together in one Unix tar file. The first tape has 205 tar files, the second 225. For more information on this data set see Section V of S. L. Wheelock et al., 1994, "IRAS Sky Survey Atlas Explanatory Supplement," JPL Publication 94-11 (Pasadena: JPL).
