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, IRFUROSOPRESC3 in the DOCUMENT/FLIGHT_REPORTS directory of this data set. B. Data set status This data set contains scientifically useful data from the Rosetta RPCLAP 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 longterm archiving and reference purposes and are not intended or suitable for scientific use by the wider community. There are also separate derivedlevel 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, ROIRFULAPEAICD, in the DOCUMENT directory. For the specifics of this mission phase, see the operations report, IRFUROSOPRESC3 in the DOCUMENT/FLIGHT_REPORTS directory. D. Caveats This section covers caveats r^ant 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 gr truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
