Collection Information
IDENTIFIER urn:nasa:pds:pvo-oetp:data-ionopause::1.1
NAME Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) Electron Temperature Probe (OETP) Ionopause Data Collection
TYPE Data
DESCRIPTION This data collection contains orbit-by-orbit times and locations of the ionopause crossings, which are evident as sharp gradients in Ne at the top of the ionosphere. (These crossings always occur within 30 minutes of periapsis, so they may be seen in the High Resolution Ne files)
