This investigator-supplied data set contains values for detector counting rates. It is on 7-track, 556-bpi, binary magnetic tape written on a CDC computer. The data are ordered by satellite telemetry station. Data set 58-005A-01B contains the same data as this data set, except there the tape is time ordered instead of station ordered. There are 120 characters (15 CDC words) per physical and logical record. Values are given for the following additional parameters: time of the measurement (month, day, hour), model magnetic field magnitude B (gauss), McIlwain's L-shell (earth radii), B/Bo, latitude (deg), longitude (deg), and altitude (km). The Jensen-Cain (J-C) model was used for magnetic field values in this data set.
