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 occultations made with the Cassini VIMS instrument during the Cassini nominal mission. Version 1.0 Contains derived radial occultation profiles of the rings of Saturn based on stellar occultation observations made with the Cassini VIMS instrument between May 2005 and August 2009. Version 2.0 Contains derived radial occultation profiles of the rings of Saturn based on stellar occultation observations made with the Cassini VIMS instrument between May 2005 and September 2017. Geometric calculations were based on the best available NAIF kernel files. All previously archived profiles were reprocessed for inclusion in the Version 2.0 delivery. Added browse products showing medium-resolution plots of the viewing geometry for each set of optical depth profiles. Added additional documentation files. Definitions of all of the ring specific keywords and columns may be found in Occultation_keywords_v1.3.pdf in the document subdirectory. Processing: Limitations encountered in the data and the processing are detailed in NICHOLSONETAL2019.
