These investigator-supplied, selected magnetometer data for field modeling are on binary magnetic tape created on an IBM 360 computer. The data consist of scalar and vector component data for 15 magnetically quiet days (November 5, 1979, to April 20, 1980), without corrections for attitude biases and external magnetic fields. The data for each day are further selected from specified time intervals judged to be undisturbed. These data are identified with a flag set to the value 2. Data for which the flag is set to zero are either vector component data for which no fine attitude information was available or data which were outside of the specified time intervals. The scalar data, which are no longer independent data, are calculated from the vector component data. Data for each day are written on a separate file. For additional information see references given under NSSDC ID 79-094A-02A.
