For each 48 s Interval, a geometric average Field Strength is determined for each of the sixteen Spectrum Analyzer Channels whose Center Frequencies range from 10 Hz to 56.2 kHz 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 V/m. During Data Gaps where complete 48 s 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 (Gurnett et al., 1979) and a complete Instrument Description can be found in (Scarf and Gurnett, 1977).\n\n+-----------------------------------------+\n| Processing Characteristics | Value      |\n-------------------------------------------\n| Processing Level Id        | 4          |\n| Software Flag              | Y          |\n| Processing Start Time      | 1988-02-01 |\n+-----------------------------------------+\n\n* Parameters\n* ==========\n\n+-------------------------------------------------------+\n| Parameter Characteristics      | Value                |\n---------------------------------------------------------\n| Sampling Parameter Name        | TIME                 |\n| Data Set Parameter Name        | PLASMA WAVE SPECTRUM |\n| Sampling Parameter Resolution  | 48.000000            |\n| Minimum Sampling Parameter     | 197708201553.000000  |\n| Sampling Parameter Interval    | 48.000000            |\n| Minimum Available Sampling Int | 4.000000             |\n| Data Set Parameter Unit        | VOLT/METER           |\n| Noise Level                    | 0.000005             |\n| Sampling Parameter Unit        | SECOND               |\n+-------------------------------------------------------+\n\nA Set of derived Parameters consisting of Wave Electric Field Intensities or Electric Field Spectral Densities at various contiguous Frequencies over a Range of Frequencies.
