DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION
Data Set Overview
  =================

The data from the ROSETTA PLASMA CONSORTIUM (RPC) Ion Composition
Analyser (ICA) was submitted by Hans Nilsson for the RPCICA team.

The data set contains data of mass resolved positively charged ions
in the energy range a few eV to 40 keV, given in physical units (flux).
The calibrated data is given for instrument mass channels, not physical
mass ranges.  Separation into physical mass ranges must be performed by
the end user using calibration data.

    This dataset contains RESAMPLED CALIBRATED DATA separated into
4 physical mass ranges, corresponding to H+, He++, He+ and heavier ions
(mass 1, 2, 4, 16 amu and above), from the RPCICA
instrument on mission ROSETTA during Rosetta extension 3.
Data contains measurements of solar wind interaction
with the atmosphere of target comet 67P.

CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE
An automatic screening removing most corrupt data has been used.
Some faulty data may remain, this is usually obvious from the look of
the data. Cross-talk affects some directional and mass resolution.
