Details |
| Year |
Full year with century, e.g., 2005, which identifies the year in which the spacecraft began recording the data. |
| Day |
Day of the year [001-366], which identifies the Julian day on which the spacecraft began recording the data. |
| Hour-Sequence_Number |
Two characters identifying the sequence number of the hour when the data was recorded. The first character is always 3 and the second character is from 0 to 7, e.g. 30, 31, and so on. |
