[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The primary mission of the Ulysses spacecraft was to characterize the
heliosphere as a function of solar latitude. The periods of primary scientific
interest is when Ulysses was at or higher than 70 degrees latitude at both the
Sun's south and north poles. On 26 June 1994, Ulysses reached 70 degrees south.
There it began a four-month observation from high latitudes of the complex
forces at work in ...

Quality The V5 Level 3 gridded products are derived from the Level 2 standard swath products. The Level 2 quality indicators determine which of the Level 2 Standard Product data are combined to create the Level 3 Product. It is important that the user of Level 3 Products become familiar with these quality indicators, and we urge the user to read the documentation describing the AIRS Level 2 Standard ...
