3. Contents of Database:

This science data base (SDB) is produced by the Akebono science team and released through 
Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS). The data base consists of processed 
data from all instruments onboard the Akebono (EXOS-D) satellite for every 8 seconds and 
the orbit information. Those who are interested in using the data base are strongly 
recommended to consult with the respective principal investigator(s) in order to assure 
the proper use of the data and to avoid confusion due to misunderstanding of the data.
On publishing scientific results obtained from this data base, the author(s) are required 
to include the reference listed in read_me for each instrumentation and the following 
acknowledgement ; "This work has been carried out by the use of Akebono SDB released from 
the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), the sponsoring agency of the Akebono 
mission, with important support from the National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR) and 
the Canadian Space Agency (CSA)." Also requested for the author(s) is to send a copy of 
preprint to both the management of Akebono project and respective principal investigator(s).
