VOYAGER 1 SATURN PLASMA DERIVED ION FITS BROWSE 96 SEC

THIS DATA SET CONTAINS THE ION DENSITIES, TEMPERATURES, AND VELOCITIES OBTAINED FROM VOYAGER 1 PLS DATA (VOLTAGE RANGE 10-5950 EV/Q) AT SATURN BY FITTING THE MEASURED SPECTRA WITH ISOTROPIC MAXWELLIAN DISTRIBUTIONS. IT IS A SUBSET OF THE DATA SET VG1-S-PLS-5-ION-FIT-96.0SEC WHICH SHOULD BE OBTAINED BEFORE THIS DATA IS USED. ONLY SPECTRA WHICH HAD DISTINCT CURRENT PEAKS WERE FIT. SPECTRA WERE FIT USING ONE OR TWO ION SPECIES, PROTONS AND/OR A HEAVY ION WHICH WAS TAKEN TO BE OXYGEN. OUTSIDE L=10-12 ION SPECTRA CHANGE RAPIDLY, SO THE VALUES IN THIS DATA SET DO NOT REPRESENT AVERAGE PLASMA CONDITIONS IN THE OUTER MAGNETOSPHERE. A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF THIS DATA SET IS GIVEN IN RICHARDSON (1986). DATA FORMAT: FIRST 5 COLUMNS ARE TIME TAG (YEAR, DAY, HOUR, MIN SEC.MSEC), FOLLOWED BY PROTON DENSITY (CM-3), PROTON TEMPERATURE (EV), HEAVY ION DENSITY (CM-3), HEAVY ION TEMPERATURE (EV), AND THREE VELOCITY COMPONENTS, (RHO, PHI,Z) IN KM/S. A CYLINDRICAL COORDINATE SYSTEM CENTERED ON THE PLANET IS USED, WITH RHO OUTWARDS FROM THE SPIN AXIS, PHI IN THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION, AND Z THE DISTANCE ABOVE THE EQUATOR. EACH ROW HAS THE FORMAT (2I4,2I3,F7.3,7E11.3). VALUES OF 1.E32 INDICATE THAT THE PARAMETER COULD NOT BE OBTAINED FROM THE DATA USING THE STANDARD ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS DATASET AND THE INSTRUMENT WHICH PRODUCED IT CAN BE FOUND ELSEWHERE IN THIS CATALOG. AN OVERVIEW OF THE DATA IN THIS DATA SET CAN BE FOUND IN RICHARDSON (1986) AND A COMPLETE INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION CAN BE FOUND IN BRIDGE (1977).
