1997 Incoherent Scatter Coordinated Observation Days

In the following table, column 2 shows dates when IMP 8 is in the solar wind, column 3 shows the date of the new moon, column 4 gives the start and end date of the experiment, column 5 gives the day of the week of the start of the experiment and column 6 is the length of the experiment. The coordinated observation days start at 1600 UT on the first day of the interval indicated and end at 1600 UT on the last day of the interval.
