Data Set Overview
      =================
      This data set contains Ulysses Energetic Particle Composition
      Experiment (EPAC) 1 hour averaged proton and electron flux
      data from all data channels submitted from the Ulysses Jupiter
      encounter 1992-Jan-25 to 1992-Feb-28.

      Data
      ====
      The file names for ULYSSES-KEP Experiment data files are:

       Tyydoy.TAB

      These are ASCII files. The data entries in the files are
      always single precision float values containing one hour
      averages in

        Flux / (s cm^2 sr)

      starting at midnight for each day. The corresponding times are
      integers indicating start of average. The entries are
      separated by blanks. Then the total length of the ASCII
      records are: 3757 Bytes with 24 records per file. Bad or
      absent data are flagged with -9.99999e+10.

      The data entries include:
