      Description: 
         Abstract: 
            Ancillary data files used to generate Level-2 products. Includes both 
            static tabular data files and dynamic files which change/grow over 
            time. Ancillary files are mission specific files used in the 
            production of Level-2 products
         Purpose: 
            Used to generate the Level 2 JASON data.
         Supplemental Information: 
            The available datatypes are: 1) XDF_ORBIT_REV_FILE; 2) XDF_PPF_MOE; 
            3) XDF_PPF _POE; 4) XDF_DORIS_USO_DRIFT; 5) XDF_AMR_BT_AVG_COEF;
