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 is derived from data of mass resolved positively charged ions
in the energy range a few eV to 40 keV, separated into physical mass per charge
ranges corresponding to H+, He2+, He+ and H2O+ and above. Two moments
were numerically integrated from the data, over available energy range and
measurement directions, the density and the bulk velocity.

    This dataset contains DERIVED MOMENT data of ion density and ion bulk
velocity for masses 1,2,4 and 18 amu / e, 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.

ARCHIVE_STATUS LOCALLY ARCHIVED
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. Low density data in general have less reliable velocity estimates.
