9.875-Sec Averaged Vector Magnetic Field Observations

Description

This data set was submitted by the principal investigator, and consists of real-time measurements of the 9.875-s averaged magnetic field from the biaxial fluxgate magnetometer. The data are on binary magnetic tapes generated on a CDC 3800 computer. There are a variable number of files per tape. The data within one file are time continuous. The first physical record in a file is a file label record giving the orbit number and time. This record is followed by a variable number of data records. The data within one logical record cover the time of one subcommutated data frame, i.e., 9.875 s. They contain the date (year, day of year, and millisecond of day), universal time of observation, the magnetic field components along the two sensors, spacecraft latitude and longitude, geocentric radial distance, and the solar sensor output.
