AE-E EUV SPECTROMETER FLUX DATA
                -------------------------------


This directory contains the EUV flux data from the Extreme
UltraViolet Spectrometer on Atmosphere Explorer E. The data
for 15 wavelength groups and cover the time period from the
182nd day of 1977 to the 160th day of 1981. The data are
normalized to the reference spectrum SC21REFW.DAT (located
in directory REF_SPEC). GET_EUVS.FOR is a program to read
the EUV data file (written by Dean Pesnell).

The EUVS instrument is described in an article by Hinteregger
in Radio Science, Volume 8, Number 4, 349-360, 1973. For more
references please consult the file REF_LIST in the AEDOC
directory.

In addition to the solar EUV measurements, the EUVS also provided
an opportunity to study the optical depth (absorption) of the
thermosphere. Details of this analysis are described in:

	L.M. Chaikin and K. Fukui, Absorption Data Analysis
	for EUVS Experiment on the Satellites AE-C, D, and E,
	Air Force Geophysics Laboratory, Report AFGL-TR-79-0191,
	Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts, August 1979.

This data were not available at the time of the production of this
CD-ROM, but may become available at a later date from AFGL (now
Air Force Phillips Laboratory).
