Data Set Overview ================= Contents: A. Operations overview B. Dataset status C. Scientific use A. Operations overview ---------------------LAP operations are described in the operations report, IRFU-ROS-OPR-ESC3 in the DOCUMENT/FLIGHT_REPORTS directory of this archive. B. Dataset status ----------------This dataset contains scientifically useful data from the Rosetta RPC-LAP instrument. The data contained are primary instrument data, in instrument units (TM) and NOT calibrated to physical units (volts and amperes) and with instrumental offsets NOT removed. See the caveats in Section C below for data use. C. Scientific use ----------------The edited science data files are supplied mainly for long-term archiving and reference purposes, and are not intended or suitable for regular scientific use. At a later stage, a DERIVED data archive will be delivered, providing directly useful scientific quantities (e.g. plasma density, wave spectra, electron temperature). For information on exact data products (science data, geometry files, housekeeping), calibration, file formats and file naming conventions, etc., consult the EAICD, RO-IRFU-LAP-EAICD-x_y_z, in the DOCUMENT directory. For general caveats, see the EAICD in the DOCUMENT directory. For specifics of this mission phase, see the operations report, IRFU-ROS-OPR-ESC3 in the DOCUMENT/FLIGHT_REPORTS directory. Other caveats: a. Until the end of operations at the comet, the first priority of the LAP team has been the science operations of the instrument, to make sure there will be useful data to archive. The archived data set is complete, but it has not been possible to scan every part of it for every possible problem before delivery, so there may be numerous data quality issues in addition to this list. While the data clearly have a great science potential, analysis has to be done with great care. Anybody using the present dataset is strongly encouraged to contact a LAP CoI for cooperation.
