3 DESCRIPTION OF SCIENCE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO RECOVER IONOSPHERIC PROFILES ACQUIRED BY THE VIKING ORBITER RADIO OCCULTATION INVESTIGATION FROM A DATA FILE MADE AVAILABLE TO US, CLEAN THEM, DOCUMENT THEM, AND PACKAGE THEM FOR ARCHIVING AT THE PDS. METHODOLOGY A VIKINGERA IONOSPHERIC SCIENTIST RECENTLY DELIVERED TO US ASCII VERSIONS OF 73 VIKING ORBITER RADIO OCCULTATION ELECTRON DENSITY PROFILES. THESE WERE DELIVERED TO HER MANY YEARS AGO BY THE LATE ARV KLIORE, INSTRUMENT TEAM LEADER. UPON AN INITIAL INSPECTION, THE PROFILES AGREE WITH SMALL, CRAMPED VERSIONS SHOWN IN FIGURES OF PUBLISHED ARTICLES. HOWEVER, IMPORTANT ANCILLARY INFORMATION SUCH AS LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE IS LACKING. WE PROPOSE TO PERFORM SANITY CHECKS ON ALL THESE PROFILES TO USE SPICE TO DETERMINE MISSING ANCILLARY INFORMATION TO PACKAGE THE WHOLE DATASET FOR ARCHIVING AT THE PDS AND TO RESOLVE LIENS IDENTIFIED BY THE PDS. RELEVANCE OF PROPOSED RESEARCH TO THIS CALL FOR PROPOSALS THE VERTICAL PROFILES OF IONOSPHERIC ELECTRON DENSITY THAT WERE ACQUIRED BY RADIO OCCULTATIONS CONDUCTED BY VIKING ORBITERS 1 AND 2 ARE SOME OF THE MOST USEFUL DATASETS EVER ACQUIRED FOR INVESTIGATIONS OF THE PLANET'S IONOSPHERE. THESE DATA PRODUCTS HAVE VERY SMALL MEASUREMENT ERRORS AND EXCELLENT VERTICAL RESOLUTION. DESPITE THE AVAILABILITY OF 5600 MGS RADIO OCCULTATION ELECTRON DENSITY PROFILES AT THE PDS, THESE VIKING PROFILES ARE STILL VALUABLE. THEY EXTEND TO MUCH HIGHER ALTITUDES, COVER LOCATIONS AND SOLAR ZENITH ANGLES NOT SAMPLED BY MGS, AND COME FROM A DIFFERENT SOLAR CYCLE. THEY ARE NOT CURRENTLY PUBLICLY AVAILABLE. THIS PROPOSED EFFORT IS ALIGNED WITH SECTION 1.3 DATA SET RESTORATION AND ARCHIVING OF THE PDART CALL FOR PROPOSALS.
