This NSSDC-generated data set consists of L-interpolated, dead-time corrected, electron count rates (from data set 62-051A-03A) in the form of card images, on one 7-track, IBM 7094, even-parity, BCD magnetic tape. There are four tape files (files 1 through 4) for these data containing, respectively, count rates from the type 302, 213A, 213B, and 213C Geiger-Mueller counters. The data records (one logical record per physical record) are ordered by L value. Each data record within a file is 80 characters long and is preceded by a 60-character header record and followed by a two-character trailer record. The experimental data have been interpolated to L = 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, and 12.0, and are grouped by L value. The data are time ordered within a given L-value group. The data set also includes time (local time, UT, solar rotation time), geomagnetic latitude, geographic latitude, B/B0, and McIlwain's L parameter. A similar data set (61-020A-03C) from Explorer 12 (EPE A) is contained on file 5 of this tape.
