Hourly Averaged Values of Interplanetary Magnetic Field Data

NSSDC ID: SPHE-00394

Availability: At NSSDC, Ready for Offline Distribution (or Staging if Digital)

Time span: 1965-06-01 to 1967-01-29

Description

This experimenter-provided data set contains hourly averaged interplanetary magnetic field vector data and spacecraft position data on IBM 360 EBCDIC magnetic tape. The spacecraft position and hourly averaged vector magnetic field data are given in both Cartesian and spherical representations in GSE coordinates. Only data obtained in interplanetary space are included. The periods June 1, 1965, to January 26, 1966, and July 1, 1966, to January 29, 1967, are covered with 90% completeness. A microfilmed listing of the contents of this data set is also available (see data set 65-042A-02F).
