Data Set Overview:Contents:A. Operations overviewB. Dataset statusC. Scientific useA. Operations overview----------------------LAP operations are described in the operations report, IRFU-ROS-OPR-ESC2in the DOCUMENT/FLIGHT_REPORTS directory of this archive.B. Dataset status-----------------This dataset contains scientifically useful data from the RosettaRPC-LAP instrument. The data contained are primary instrument data,calibrated to physical units (volts and amperes) and with instrumentaloffsets removed. See the caveats in Section C below for data use.C. Scientific use-----------------The data can be used for scientific analysis, but this requires somefamiliarity with this type of data. At a later stage, a DERIVED dataarchive will be delivered, providing directly useful scientificquantities (e.g. plasma density, wave spectra, electron temperature).For information on exact data products (science data, geometry files,housekeeping), calibration, file formats and file naming conventions,etc., consult the EAICD, RO-IRFU-LAP-EAICD-x_y_z, in the DOCUMENTdirectory.For general caveats, see the EAICD in the DOCUMENT directory. Forspecifics of this mission phase, see the operations report,IRFU-ROS-OPR-ESC2 in the DOCUMENT/FLIGHT_REPORTS directory.Other caveats:a. Until the end of operations at the comet, the first priority of the LAP team will have to be the science operations of the instrument, to make sure there will be useful data to archive. The archived data set is complete, and it has not been possible to scan every part of it for every possible problem before delivery, so there may be numerous data quality issues in addition to this list. While the data clearly have a great science potential, analysis has to be done with great care. Anybody using the present dataset is strongly encouraged to contact a LAP CoI for cooperation.

These data are uncalibrated raw data, i.e. digital output of the instrument. As such, the confidence level is very high.
