PDS LDN Data Review

Review Summary


Apollo 14 and 15 Solar Wind Spectrometer (SWS)

Reviewers - Mike Collier, Nicola Richmond


Add PDSFs of relevant Preliminary Science Reports to the Doc files in each data
set

In the dataset.cat files, describe the original data source and how it was
converted.

In the dataset.cat files, add a section that lists what references should be
read to help understand and interpret the data (i.e, a "required reading"
section).

Mike C.'s images on the first page of his presentation and the graphics about
how the magnetic field varies at the Apollo 12 and 15 landing sites (which can
affect the solar wind measurements) and of the instrument look 
directions may be
useful as documentation for these data sets. Ask Mike where the 
images come from
and check on copyright issues and include these graphics in Doc directory.

In the data tables, convert the UTC time stamp to a floating-point fraction day
of year and add as a column in the tables.  The current UTC column is hard to
format and read into "Kaleidgraph".

In the data tables, some files have columns that are one character shorter than
the rest of the tables.  The tables should have a standard, consistent format.

In the data labels (and/or data tables) there seems to be confusion about which
cup was doing what.  Column 14 in the table is defined as "Number of side cup
(not vertical) with most current" but column sometimes has number "7", which is
the number for the vertical cup.  Does this column simply contain the number of
the cup with the highest voltage, regardless of orientation?  An 
example of this
occurs in the label and table for 1972-09-02.  Per Kent H., it's 
possible it was
this way in the original data file.  He can check this.  Also if the number 7
was in column 14, are columns 15 and 16(?) empty?  Yes, the tables 
have the fill
values (all 9's). Solve this and include discussion in the dataset.cat file.

Include a map of the Apollo landing sites in the document directory.

Add references as necessary and make sure all referecnes have pointers to them
in the relevant files.

As DATA or EXTRAS, recommend including the solar zenith angle for these data.
NAIF (Chuck Acton) may have these data.  PDS's PPI Node may have software
to help calculate this information.

What are the Geocentric Solar Ecliptic coordinates for the position of the moon
for these data?  Useful to the position of the Moon when using data, can we
include this in the label files?

There is an unpublished document that Kent H. is familiar with.  It was written
by Goldstein et al to support these SWS data sets but was never 
published.  Kent
H. should have a copy of the report.  It may also be online.

A few line terminator issues?  (Ask Ed Guinness).

The dataset.cat or ref.cat file has a typo:  Clay et al 1571 - should be 1975.
