Count Rates on Archive Files

Description

This data set consists of IBM/360 binary magnetic tapes provided by the experimenter. The first of the two physical files on each tape contains fine time-scale data, and the second file contains hourly averaged data. In the first file each physical record contains 10 2094-byte logical records. Each logical record may be an identification record containing data management information or may be a data record. Each data record contains all the count rate data obtained during one 81.92-s sequence (eight rates each for protons above 10, 30, and 60 MeV and for protons in the intervals 0.21 to 0.53, 0.53 to 2.2, and 2.2 to 7.5 MeV, and one rate for each of the eight 45-deg sectors for protons in the intervals 0.21 to 0.53 and 0.53 to 2.2 MeV, for 8.2 to 20 MeV alpha particles, and for electrons above 10 keV), uncertainties associated with each rate, data quality flags, housekeeping data, and ephemeris information. Ephemeris information includes geographic latitude, longitude, radial distance, solar ecliptic and solar magnetospheric Cartesian coordinates, B, L, sun-earth-spacecraft angle, spin period and direction, sun-spacecraft-spin axis direction angle, and other parameters. In the second file of the tape each physical record contains 20 174-byte logical records. Each of these logical records contains hourly averaged values for all the count rates and all the ephemeris parameters indicated previously.
