These data are written on BCD magnetic tape created on a Univac 1108 computer. Each physical record is one logical record of 120 characters. The data are contained on 44 files with each file containing data for one sol. Each file consists of module header records followed by data records for the module. The header records contain the module no., start time, Lander epoch, sol no., data quality indicator, Lander no., and sample interval. The data records contain minimum, maximum, average and standard deviation values for wind speed, wind angle, thermocouple temp., and reference sensor temp., plus sums of all flags,parity flags, and all missing values, average time, and average platinum resistance temperature. This format is the same for Viking 2 Lander meteorology wind and temperature data (75-083C-07E).
