The first line provides a brief description of the purpose of each research flight, including the date, start and end time of data collection (hh:mm UTC) and the type of study carried out. The subsequent lines describe the filename (YYMMDDHH), file size (in KBytes and MBytes) as well as the number of records collected (including the 2-D imagery).
Example:
Filename KBytes Totals 2D-C 2D-P MBytes (blks/2) (KB/1024) 83-Jul-03 23:20 - 01:25 Hail 83070323 6575 2523 19 115 6.42 83070400 14571 4838 338 900 14.22 83070401 4405.5 1643 60 89 4.30
A flight for the purpose of carrying out Hail experiments was conducted on July 3, 1983 from 23:20 to 01:25 UTC. File 83070223 contains 2523 records collected between 23:20:00 to 23:59:59. During this time period there were 19 and 115 records containing 2D-C and 2D-P imagery, respectively. This file is 6.42 MB in size.
Further descriptions of the various experiments, the aircraft platform, instrument calibrations, record formats are under construction.
