This 35-mm film data set of ion composition measurements was supplied by the principal investigator. Each film frame contains time-ordered data from three experiment turnons lasting about 4 min per turnon. For each turnon, a two-line heading is given, beneath which are 15 columns. Included in the first line are values for the turnon number and the day of measurement. The second line contains location codes including month, local hour, altitude, and geographic and magnetic latitude and longitude values. The column headings are mass number (amu), UT (s), orbit and attitude (O-A) flag, satellite velocity (km/s), solar-zenith angle, altitude (km), geodetic latitude, geodetic longitude, dipole latitude, dipole longitude, McIlwain's L-shell parameter (earth radii), local time (s), data flag, current (A), and number density (ions/cc). A sample turnon might contain several rows with the mass number column showing values for 14, 16, 4, 1, 14, and 16. O-A and data flag numbers are explained at the bottom of the frame. These data are also on tape in data set 66-044A-01A.
