8 Second Averaged Magnetic Field Vector Data

Description

This data set was written by a PDP computer in binary code. It provides 8-s average values of the solar ecliptic X, Y, Z components of the magnetic field, in units of centi-gamma. Also available are the number of samples of each component used in the averaging. The location of the spacecraft is specified in terms of ecliptic longitude, heliographic latitude, and radial distance from sun. Data quality flags are also included. An ASCII version of this data set was created by NSSDC and is available under the ID of 76-003A-01E.
