time_series_direction in Occultation_​Time_​Series

Name: time_series_directionVersion Id: 1.0.0.0
Description: time_series_direction indicates the direction the occultation proceeds through the target within a particular data product. Possible values are 'Ingress', 'Egress', 'Both' or 'Multiple'. The value 'Multiple' is used where the occultation track is not monotonic over relatively short time scales. Generally only used for some Hubble-based occultations. May be appropriate for extremely long duration occultations of a high proper motion star (e.g., u36). Not intended as a value for a table field.

Permissible Value(s)ValueValue Meaning
 BothThe time series includes both ingress and egress values.
 EgressRing radius or atmospheric height along the occultation track increases with time.
 IngressRing radius or atmospheric height along the occultation track decreases with time.
 MultipleThe occultation track is not monotonic over relatively short time scales. Generally only used for some Hubble-based occultations. May be appropriate for extremely long duration occultations of a high proper motion star (e.g., u36).
