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 10 eV to 40 keV. The raw data is separated into
mass channels or mass channel ranges, not actual ion mass. For most
circumstances, significant counts are seen only for certain
directions, mass channels and energy levels. The data is thus sparse
with many zeros. The unit is COUNTS.
This data set contains undisturbed solar wind data from the cruise phase.
Changes form version 1 to 2: The order of the energy levels is now
from low to high, as this is more intuitive. The definition of the
quality flag has changed and now provides information about noise
levels and possibly unstable energy scale which may affect low
energy measurements.

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.
A quality flag also indicates data with potential problems concerning noise
levels and stability of the energy scale.

ABSTRACT_TEXT |
This dataset contains RAW DATA from the RPCICA instrument on mission
ROSETTA during Earth the first Earth swingby. Due to an overheating event
RPC-ICA only obtained data from the deep tail at about 200 RE tailward
distance. Protons at about 10 KeV energy were observed throughout the
observation period. Magnetosheath like populations of protons and alpha
particles were observed during most of the observation period.
Data set version 2 replaces a previously delivered data set.
Important changes are the ordering of the energy levels which now
go from low to high and that the quality flag in the labels is
updated.
