This experimenter-supplied data set contains 15-s averaged magnetic field vector data binary magnetic tapes written on an IBM 360 computer. Each physical record contains 60 logical records. Each logical record contains, in 68 4-byte words, averaged magnetic field data and spacecraft trajectory information for one 15.36-s interval. The data consist of field magnitudes; Cartesian components in GSE and GSM coordinates; field latitude and azimuth angles in payload, GSE, and GSM coordinates; and auto-variances and cross-variances in payload (similar to GSE) coordinates. In addition, data quality flags, spacecraft ephemeris data, housekeeping data, and various other parameters are included.
