DATA_SET_NAME CASSINI ORBITER SATURN UVIS STELLAR RING OCC 2004-2017
DATA_SET_ID CO-SR-UVIS-2/4-OCC-V2.0
NSSDC_DATA_SET_ID
DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION Cassini UVIS derived, stellar occultation, radial profiles of the rings of Saturn - Version 2.
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).
