Data Set Overview ================= The data from the ROSETTA PLASMA CONSORTIUM (RPC) Ion Composition Analyser (ICA) was submitted by Hans Nilsson for the RPCICA team. The data set contains data of mass resolved positively charged ions in the energy range 10 eV to 40 keV. The raw data is separated into mass channels or mass channel ranges, not actual ion mass. For most circumstances, significant counts are seen only for certain directions, mass channels and energy levels. The data is thus sparse with many zeros. The unit is COUNTS. This data set contains undisturbed solar wind data from the cruise phase. Changes form version 1 to 2: The order of the energy levels is now from low to high, as this is more intuitive. The definition of the quality flag has changed and now provides information about noise levels and possibly unstable energy scale which may affect low energy measurements.
These data are available on-line from the Planetary Data System (PDS) at:
