Proton and Alpha Particle Count Rates Ordered by Invariant Latitude

NSSDC ID: SPMS-00357

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

Time span: 1969-11-10 to 1970-06-28

Description

This investigator-supplied data set consists of separate proton and alpha particle count rates (counts/9.875-s interval) stored on a binary magnetic tape written on a CDC 3400 computer. The data are ordered by invariant latitude in intervals of a few degrees, and within a given interval they are chronologically ordered. Each file has a variable number of physical records. Each physical record contains 79 logical records, with every 79th logical record containing housekeeping information. Each of the other 78 data logical records contains six computer words (one data sample) giving the invariant latitude, time (UT), magnetic field strength (GSFC 12/66 model), magnetic local time, the hemisphere (north or south) in which the data were obtained, and the count rates.
