INTRODUCTION

Purpose and Scope

This Data Product Definition Document (DPDD) describes the format and content of the Radio and Plasma Waves instrument (RPW) Science data. It includes descriptions of the data products and associated metadata, including the data format, content, and generation pipeline. These products will be stored and distributed from the Solar Orbiter Science Archive (SOAR) of the SOC. The specifications described in this DPDD apply to all RPW Science products submitted to ESA’s Solar Orbiter SOC for further archival and exploitation. This document only includes descriptions of Science products delivered by the Science pipelines run at the RPW Team premises. It does not address the Low Latency data (see [RD.05]) since it will be described in [RD.01], [RD.02], [RD.03] and [RD.04].
