This investigator-supplied data set of trapped-particle dose rate measurements is on BCD magnetic tapes written in Fortran IV on an IBM 7094 computer. Data for the six dosimeters are given in flux units (number/sq cm-sr-s). The flux values were obtained from the sensors' count rates. In addition to the dosimeter data, the tapes contain electron and proton fluxes and electron and proton spectrometer outputs. The dosimeter and proton-electron data are presented in a time-ordered tabular format, with time given to tenths of seconds. In channel 15, the middle, center, and surface proton dosimeter fluxes a ppear as words 4, 5, and 6, respectively. They appear again as words 24, 25, and 26. The data from the two-tissue-equivalent ion chamber (TEIC) dosimeters, are given in words 27 and 14, respectively. In channel 16, the middle, center, and surface proton dosimeter fluxes appear as words 14, 15, and 16, respectively. The output from the X-ray dosimeter is word 26, while the TEIC-1 output is given as word 13. No ephemeris information is included here. However, the ephemeris information is available in data set 65-078A-00D. Time coverage extends from October 5, 1965, to December 1, 1965, with approximately 25% completeness.
