Data Set Overview
        =================
          THIS DATA SET CONTAINS THE THERMAL ELECTRON DENSITY AND TEMPERATURE
          IN THE PLS ENERGY RANGE (10-5950 EV) FROM VOYAGER 2 AT SATURN
          DERIVED BY FITTING THE LOW ENERGY ELECTRON COMPONENT WITH A
          MAXWELLIAN DISTRIBUTION, AND THE MOMENT DENSITY AND TEMPERATURE OF
          THE HOT ELECTRONS CALCULATED AFTER THE SIGNAL FROM THE THERMAL
          COMPONENT IS SUBTRACTED FROM THE ELECTRON SPECTRA.  IT IS A SUBSET
          OF THE DATA SET VG2-S-PLS-5-ELE-FIT-96.0SEC WHICH SHOULD BE OBTAINED
          BEFORE THIS DATA IS USED.  SPACECRAFT CHARGING MAY RESULT IN FACTOR
          OF 2-3 ERRORS IN THE THERMAL ELECTRON DENSITY.

          Description
          -----------
            A derived parameter giving an indication of the mean A
            derived parameter equaling the number of electrons per unit
            volume over a specified range of electron energy.
            energy/electron, assuming the shape of the electron energy
            Different forms of electron density are derived spectrum to
            be Maxwellian (i.e. highest entropy shape).  Given
            distinguished by method of derivation (Maxwellian fit, that
            the electron energy spectrum is not exactly Maxwellian,
            method of moments) or by the some selection criteria (ie.,
            the electron temperature can be defined integrally (whereby
            the mean energy obtained by integrating under the actual hot
            electron and cold electron density).  In general, if more
            electron energy spectrum is set equal to the integral under
            than one electron component is analyzed, either by moment or
            fit, a total density will be provided which is the sum of a
            Maxwellian, where the temperature is a free parameter for the
            electron densities.  If the electron do not have a which to
            solve), or differentially (whereby the slopes of Maxwellian
            distribution the actual distribution can be the actually
            electron energy spectrum at various energies are matched to
            the slopes of a corresponding Maxwellian).  represented as
            the sum of several Maxwellians, in which case the density of
            each Maxwellian is given.  The temperature parameter is often
            qualified with a range of applicable energies.  temperatures
            can be angularly anisotropic.  If the electrons do not have a
            Maxwellian distribution the actual distribution can be
            represented as the sum of several Maxwellians, each with a
            separate temperature.

Confidence Level:
    ==================

          THIS DATA SET PROVIDES AN ESTIMATE OF THE ELECTRON PARAMETERS
          IN THE PLS ENERGY RANGE (10-5950 EV).  THE THERMAL ELECTRON
          DENSITY MAY BE UNDERESTIMATED BY FACTORS OF 2 IN SOME REGIONS
          DUE TO NEGATIVE SPACECRAFT CHARGING.  THERMAL ELECTRON
          PARAMETERS ARE ALSO UNRELIABLE INSIDE SIX KRONIAN RADII WHERE
          ELECTRON TEMPERATURES ARE COLD AND IN THE OCCULTATION REGIONS.
          HOT ELECTRONS ARE RELATIVELY UNDISTURBED BY CHARGING AND THESE
          PARAMETERS HAVE UNCERTAINTIES OF LESS THAN 20%.
