DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION
DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION Data Set Overview: This data set contains derived radial occultation profiles of the rings of Saturn based on stellar occultation observations made with the Cassini UVIS instrument between October 2004 and August 2017. Version 1.0 Contains derived radial occultation profiles of the rings of Saturn based on stellar occultation observations made with the Cassini UVIS instrument between May 2005 and August 2008. Version 2.0 Contains derived radial occultation profiles of the rings of Saturn based on stellar occultation observations made with the Cassini UVIS instrument between October 2004 and August 2017. Geometric calculations were based on the final (post mission) NAIF kernel files. All previously archived profiles were reprocessed for inclusion in the Version 2.0 delivery. With version 2.0, the columns in the data table files were reordered slightly, and an additional column, OBSERVED RING AZIMUTH, was added. Definitions of all of the ring specific keywords and columns may be found in Occultation_keywords_v1.3.pdf in the document subdirectory. Added additional documentation files.Processing: High. Limitations encountered in the data and the processing are detailed in Colwell etal. 2010 (COLWELLETAL2010).
