Time Sequenced Interspersed Pioneer 6 + 7 Hr Averaged Magnetic Field Data

Description

This data set consists of a magnetic tape generated by NSSDC personnel by extracting hourly averaged Pioneer 6 and 7 magnetic field data from a composite interplanetary magnetic field tape of the experimenter. The tape is IBM/360 binary and has 16 data words per logical record and 50 logical records per physical record. The data in a logical record consist of time, hourly averaged field magnitude and field direction angles in solar ecliptic coordinates, standard deviations in field magnitude and in Cartesian components, number of 30-s averages in hourly averages, and a spacecraft identifier. There are 6375 and 4962 Pioneer 6 and Pioneer 7 data hours interspersed such that the entire tape is time sequenced.
