These experimenter-supplied, spectrum range scan data are on binary magnetic tape created on a PDP 11/34 computer. The tapes are multifiled, with each file containing a seven-word header of Radix-50 title information for internal PDP use followed by an experiment header record and a variable number of logical header records and data records. The experiment header contains tape and experiment identification information, date and orbit number, and satellite position. A logical header precedes each data record. It contains the dimension of the logical data array, wavelength information, start time of logical record, absolute and differential temperatures, gate time, true spacecraft mode, calculated actual azimuth and elevation (for raster experiments only), and experiment type. Each data record contains an array of one of the following two experiment types: (1) spectrum range scan and (2) spectrum range scan with limb offset. These are similar to the spectrum scan data (-01D). The differences are in the original wavelength specification, the number of wavelength positions observed, and the number of steps between observed points. Data reduction programs for data analysis are available on data set -01I.
