| Description: background_signal indicates the anticipated signal (in counts, counts per second, or other specified units) received when no occulted source signal reaches the detector. This is the signal level that indicates an opaque ring. Strongly recommended in labels of ring occultation observations if the value is constant, or strongly recommended to be used as a field in the data table if the value is not constant. Normally not used for radio occultations. |
