Electron Density Data
NSSDC ID: SPIO-00071
Availability: At NSSDC, Ready for Offline Distribution (or Staging if Digital)
Time span: 1962-04-27 to 1962-07-10
Description
These electron density data are on one 7-track, 556-bpi, BCD magnetic tape, written on an IBM 7094 computer. They are merged with standard ephemerides, geopotential altitude, local solar time, and values for the geomagnetic field intensity and McIlwain's L-shell parameter. The geodetic latitude coverage varied between plus and minus 54 deg. Measurements were made at all local times. The same data are available on microfilm as data set 62-015A-01B.
