MOVE Original Data Format

MOVE provides the TRANSPORT_TOTAL which corresponds to the MOC, but also things like transport_component_internal (TIME,), transport_component_internal_offset (TIME,), and transport_component_boundary (TIME,). This would be similar to RAPID’s version of “interior transport” and “western boundary wedge”, but it’s not so clear how to make these similarly named.
