Data Access
RadioJOVE Single Frequency Data Product. This data set consists of observations made at the AJ4CO Observatory using a Terminated Folded Dipole (TFD) Array and two 20.1 MHz Radio JOVE direct conversion receivers, 7 kHz Bandwidth. The two receivers provide uncorrelated Right Circularly Polarized (RCP) and Left Circularly Polarized (LCP) data. These data are generated using the Radio Sky-Pipe Software. The data set consists of five channels of data.
These data may include observations of Solar Radio Bursts, Jupiter decametric radio emission, or Galactic Background radio emission.
The Radio-SkyPipe produced datafiles consist of a fixed length header and a variable length note. The data portion of the file for one channel of data consists of an 8 byte timestamp using the VisualBasic 6 date format (days since 1 Jan 1900) followed by one 8 byte data value (Channel 1), this pattern repeats until the end of file. More details can be found in the Data File Structure document on the Radio-SkyPipe help page (see Information URL).
