VOYAGER 2 JUPITER PLASMA DERIVED ELECTRON MOMENTS 96 SEC
THIS DATA SET CONTAINS THE DERIVED VALUES FOR THE ELECTRON MOMENT DENSITY AND TEMPERATURE AT JUPITER IN THE PLS ENERGY RANGE (10-5950 EV) DURING THE VOYAGER 2 ENCOUNTER. ADJACENT LOW AND HIGH ENERGY ELECTRON MEASUREMENTS ARE COMBINED TO FORM A COMPOSITE SPECTRA WHICH IS USED FOR THE MOMENT CALCULATION. THE MOMENT CALCULATIONS ARE PERFORMED AS DESCRIBED IN SCUDDER ET AL. (1981). THESE ASSUME ISOTROPIC DISTRIBUTIONS AND CORRECT FOR POSITIVE SPACECRAFT CHARGE WHEN APPLICABLE AND INTERPOLATE ELECTRON SPECTRA BELOW THE 10 EV INSTRUMENT THRESHOLD BEFORE PERFORMING THE INTEGRATION OVER VELOCITY. DATA FORMAT: COLUMNS 1-6 ARE TIME (YEAR, DAY, HOUR, MIN, SEC, MSEC) COLUMN 7 IS THE MOMENT DENSITY IN CM-3, COLUMN 8 THE TEMPERATURE IN EV. EACH ROW HAS FORMAT (6I4, 2E12.3). 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 SCUDDER ET AL. (1981) AND A COMPLETE INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION CAN BE FOUND IN BRIDGE (1977).
