Yes, the PLP summary plots for 2008-2010 are going up and are available in bundles of 1 month .zip files.  Each figure represents one orbit of data from the PLP instrument.  The figure title indicates the day of year, the date, the UT time for the start of the orbit, and the orbit number.  The start of an orbit is defined by the northward crossing of the geographic equator.  The oldest data in a plot starts at the northward crossing of the equator and not necessarily at the left of the plot. The plot abscissa has tick marks for geographic longitude,geographic latitude, altitude, magnetic longitude, magnetic latitude, Universal time, and solar local time.  The graph's tickmarks are orginized by solar local time.  Ticks will always be at 1500, 1800, 2100, 0000,
