Data Set Overview ================= Contents: A. Operations overview B. Data set status C. Scientific use D. Caveats E. Updates since previous version F. Version history A. Operations overview ---------------------LAP operations are described in the operations report, IRFU-ROS-OPR-ESC4 in the DOCUMENT/FLIGHT_REPORTS directory of this data set. B. Data set status -----------------This data set 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 D below for data use. C. Scientific use ----------------While the edited data are scientifically useful to instrument experts, these data files are supplied mainly for long-term archiving and reference purposes and are not intended or suitable for scientific use by the wider community. There are also separate derived-level data sets for the same time period, providing directly useful scientific quantities (e.g. electron 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, in the DOCUMENT directory. For the specifics of this mission phase, see the operations report, IRFU-ROS-OPR-ESC4 in the DOCUMENT/FLIGHT_REPORTS directory. D. Caveats ---------This section covers caveats relevant for this specific data set. For general caveats, see the EAICD in the DOCUMENT directory. D.1. General caveat ------------------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 data set is strongly encouraged to contact a LAP CoI for cooperation. E. Updates since previous version --------------------------------- MAJOR: Data reorganized into fewer files with longer time series and sorted by type of measurement. - Bugfix: Sweep timestamp increments corrected. See section Version history. F. Version history -----------------Note that there has been changes in the organization of data sets: - Previously, some data sets were split into several data sets, one per MTP, and therefore used the DATA_SET_ID description string to signify which MTP. - Previously, data sets which covered the entire mission phase used the description strings EDITED and CALIB. - New edited and calibrated data sets use the DATA_SET_ID description strings EDITED2 and CALIB2 to signify significants updates in the data set pipeline and the basic format of the data sets (fewer files and longer time series). The versioning of these data sets starts from V1.0. Therefore, this data set supersedes the following data set(s): RO-C-RPCLAP-2-ESC4-MTP022-V1.0 RO-C-RPCLAP-2-ESC4-MTP023-V1.0 RO-C-RPCLAP-2-ESC4-MTP024-V1.0 RO-C-RPCLAP-2-ESC4-MTP022-V2.0 RO-C-RPCLAP-2-ESC4-MTP023-V2.0 RO-C-RPCLAP-2-ESC4-MTP024-V2.0
