      Data Set Description
      --------------------
      This data set consists of 48-second calibrated, averaged wave
      electric field intensities from the Voyager 1 Plasma Wave
      Receiver spectrum analyzer obtained in the vicinity of the
      Jovian magnetosphere. For each 48-second interval, a geometric
      average field strength is determined for each of the 16
      spectrum analyzer channels whose center frequencies range from
      10 Hertz to 56.2 kiloHertz and which are logarithmically
      spaced in frequency, four channels per decade. The time
      associated with each set of averages is the beginning of the
      averaging interval. Averages are stored in units of
      volt/meter. During data gaps where complete 48-second
      intervals are missing, no entries exist in the file, that is,
      the gaps are not zero-filled or tagged in any other way.
      Additional information about this data set and the instrument
      which produced it can be found elsewhere in this catalog. An
      overview of the data in this data set can be found in
      [GURNETTETAL1979] and a complete instrument description can be
      found in [SCARF&GURNETT1977].

Confidence Level Overview
      =========================
      This data set includes all available spectrum analyzer data
      within the interval of time covered. The data set has been
      cleaned as well as possible for periodic noise spikes due to a
      stepper motor operating on the LECP and a modulated grid
      within the PLS. The averages do not include these noise
      spikes. Other possible sources of noise which have not been
      eliminated include a nearly continuous tone at about 311 Hz
      after closest approach due to interference from the gyros and
      random intense spikes of noise below 1 kiloHertz due to the
      operation of attitude control thrusters. The data between 0040
      and 0155 spacecraft event time on July 10 1979 is heavily
      contaminated by thruster activity associated with a trajectory
      correction maneuver. Other randomly occurring spikes or time
      periods of intense spikes over the entire frequency range are
      indicative of telemetry errors. No attempt has been made to
      remove spikes since some could be valid data, i.e. real bursts
      of wave activity. The 17.8-Hz channel is sometimes
      contaminated by interference from the PRA instrument,
      depending on that instrument's mode. This interference is at a
      relatively constant level.
