EARTH-BASED RING OCCULTATIONS 2003 RELEASE
VOLUME 1: SATURN 1989 OCCULTATION OF 28 SAGITTARIUS 2003 RELEASE
Validation comments:
0. Numerous files have embedded
<TAB> characters or are missing a
<LF>
character. See attached report for
filesnames and line
numbers within the files where the error occurs.
Done.
Note: no label files checked for misspellings, only text files.
1. VOLDESC.CAT
A. Include a LABEL_REVISION_NOTE
B. ADDRESS_TEXT = "Mail
Stop 245-3
NASA
Ames Research Center
Moffett
Field, CA 94035-1000"
Capitalize keyword values, except for *NOTE, *DESC, etc.
Done.
2. AAREADME.TXT
A. Substitute correct variables for the "????" in
the
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
section, (lines 446 thru 449).
(But you
know
this already.)
B. Re: section 4.1, lines 101
and following . . .
Not
really an error or complaint . . . just my ignorance.
This
section is the first place where you mention French
and
Nicholson. When I read this, I
wondered who they were
and
what importance they had in supplying the data files.
Perhaps,
those who will be using this volume know all about
them.
C. "French, R.G., and P.D.
Nicholson, Radial Profiles of Saturn's Rings
from
the the 1989 Occultation of 28 Sgr, USA_NASA_PDS_EBROCC_0001,
NASA
Planetary Data System, 2003."
Remove
second occurrance of "the" on the second line of this
reference, (second and third word on second line.)
Done.
4. \CATALOG\
A. PERSON.CAT
1. ADDRESS_TEXT = "Mail Stop 245-3

keyword value occurs thrice in file)
2. ADDRESS_TEXT = "Space
Sciences Building
Cornell University
Ithaca, NY 14853"
3. ADDRESS_TEXT =
"Astronomy Department
Wellesley
College
Wellesley,

Capitalize
ASCII characters in keyword value fields.
All
ADDRESS_TEXT value fields are this way in this
file. All need to be capitalized.
Done.
B. REF.CAT
1. NICHOLSONETAL1990
Astrnom.
J.

this be "Astron. J."???
(The "official"
abbreviation
for this journal is "AJ...", but that
is
very cryptic. I like "Astron.
J." better, your
choice.)
Done.

5. \BROWSE\
A. \BROWSE\BROWINFO.TXT
1. PUBLICATION_DATE = 2004-03-30
Correct
year?
2. Change: ...optical (top) and
and tau_max...
To: ...optical (top) and tau_max...
Delete
one occurance of "and".
3. Change: overploted
To: overplotted
Occurs twice in file, (last two lines in file).
Done.
B. \BROWSE\*_LBL
For example:
OBJECT =
PS_DOCUMENT
DOCUMENT_NAME
= "ES1_EGB"
Should
this be:
OBJECT =
PS_DOCUMENT
DOCUMENT_NAME
= "ES1_EGB.PS"
And likewise for PDF documents. Include filename extension.
Done.
6. \CALIB\
A. CALINFO.TXT
PUBLICATION_DATE = 2004-03-30
Correct
year? Many, many files on this
volume have this
date.
All changed to 2003-09-30 the
date the volume was made available on line while in peer review.
7. \DATA\
A1. \DATA\ESO1M\ES1_EPD.LBL and \DATA\ESO1M\ES1_EPD.TAB
Table is defined as being 20
characters, however, table is
only
17 characters. Third column is
defined as being four
characters,
but in table, it is only one character. Either
pad
out the third column to be four characters (before the
<cr><lf>),
or change definition of third column to be one
character
width. (Label file should have table defined as
being 19 characters, (17 char plus <cr><lf>).)
A2. Change: ^SERIES = (ES1_EPD.TAB ,1 )
To: ^SERIES = ("ES1_EPD.TAB",1)
Done.
B1. \DATA\ESO1M\ES1_IPD.LBL and \DATA\ESO1M\ES1_IPD.TAB
Table defined as being 20
characters (RECORD_BYTES = 20),
but
table is only 17 characters.
OBJECT = COLUMN definitions
are
correct. Either change
RECORD_BYTES = 20 to the correct
value, or pad out the table to be 20 characters.
Done.
B2. Change: ^SERIES = (ES1_IPD.TAB ,1 )
To: ^SERIES = ("ES1_IPD.TAB",1)
Done.
C1. \DATA\ESO22M\ES2_EPD.LBL and \DATA\ESO22M\ES2_EPD.TAB
As above. Change RECORD_BYTES = 20 and ROW_BYTES
= 20 or
pad out third column of table.
Done.
C2. Change: ^SERIES = (ES2_EPD.TAB ,1 )
To: ^SERIES = ("ES2_EPD.TAB",1)
Done.
D. Same "problems" seem to appear in all files in
these
subdirectories. Please check byte counts and column
widths
for all tables and labels.
Done.
8. \DOCUMENT\
A. \DOCUMENT\DOCINFO.TXT has a discussion about ASCII files
and
<CR><LF>. The last
sentence of the first paragraph
states,
"In this directory, this applies to all files
except
those in Adobe Acrobat format (*.PDF)." However,
there
are no PDF files in this directory.
Only the three
text
files.
B. \DOCUMENT\GEOMETRY.TXT and
\DOCUMENT\MODEL.TXT
Would
it be "better" to have a PDF version of these files
where
the mathematical formulas can be constructed in an
appropriate
math display font? (Just a
suggestion.)
C. \DOCUMENT\GEOMETRY.TXT
My
ASCII word editor (UltraEdit32) says that this file is
a
Macintosh formatted file. Should
be generic DOS format.
(Not
sure if this is a "problem" or against the standards.
It is just the only file on the volume that isn't DOS.)
Done.
9. \GEOMETRY\
A. \GEOMETRY\GEOMINFO.TXT
LICK1M\ - Supplemental geometry
information for the Lick
observations is not available. The
directory
contains an ASCII file repeating this
lack.
However,
the LICK1M sub-directory only contains a
GEOMINFO.TXT
file which does not contain any information as
to
the lack of geom info. It is only
a blank label file
without
any text.
B. \GEOMETRY\ESO1M\ES1_EGD.LBL
Change:
^SERIES = (ES1_EGD.TAB ,1 )
To: ^SERIES =
("ES1_EGD.TAB",1)
c. \GEOMETRY\*\*.LBL
As 9.B. above, check all ^SERIES keyword values and quote.
Done.
10. \INDEX\
A. \INDEX\*.TAB
Do
not quote times and/or dates.
B. Rename xxx_INDEX.TAB to
xxxINDEX.tab
C. ES1_INDEX.LBL and
ES1_INDEX.TAB
Change:
RECORD_BYTES = 239 (line
#3)
To: RECORD_BYTES = 240
and
Change:
ROW_BYTES = 239 (line
#25)
To: ROW_BYTES = 240
and
Change:
BYTES = 15 (line
#55)
To: BYTES = 11
also,
readjust START_BYTE and BYTES to reflect deletion of
quotes
around date/time values.
D. ES2_INDEX.LBL and ES2_INDEX.TAB
as
above, RECORD_BYTES and ROW_BYTES should be 240, also
column
three BYTES should be 11 instead of 15.
E. Also checked "next"
pair of files and they have the same
problem,
(did not check all as they seem to have the same
errors). Please check all the rest of the files
in this
sub-directory.
Done.
11. \SORCDATA\
A. \SORCDATA\*\*.DAT and \SORCDATA\*\*.OUT
Maybe, perhaps, make these tables???
Our policy is to avoid changing source files.
B. \SORCDATE\MCD27MM\MCD_EGRESS_GEOMETRY.LBL
Change: OLE_RIGHT_ASCENSION =
(298.....
To: POLE_RIGHT_ASCENSION = (298.....
OLE_RIGHT_ASCENSION
not a valid keyword. Other
label files have POLE_RIGHT_ASCENSION
Done.
