This data set is proprietary and not for distribution. It is submitted by experimenters to NSSDC for the purpose of the Coordinated Data Analysis Workshops (CDAW). The data sets submitted for CDAW are usually small, and the time coverage is usually scanty within the time span indicated. However, this data set (or part of it) may be provided to the general science community through an online dataset in CDF format. For more detailed description, as well as access information, please contact the NSSDC Request coordination Office at request@mail630.gsfc.nasa.gov.
These experimenter-supplied, particle data are on binary magnetic tape created on a PDP 11/40 computer. Each physical record of 7614 bytes contains a 7-word header followed by 25 logical records of 152 words each. The header consists of case number; record number; number of satellite spins in the record (one spin per logical record); and year, day of year, and time of day in hours and minutes. The first two words of the logical record are seconds and milliseconds, respectively, from the reference time in the header. The 150 data words that follow (in real format) contain particle fluxes from five angular ranges for each of 30 data channels. The angular ranges are four contiguous 90-deg sectors and a fifth which is the average of all of these. The first four channels are integral energy electron and proton directional fluxes. The remaining 26 are differential energy electron and proton fluxes in 13 energy ranges. These data were submitted as input for Coordinated Data Analysis Workshops and therefore limited to discrete periods within the time interval covered.
