These experimenter-supplied microfiche consist of summary plots of observed magnetic field components, the resultant magnitudes, and the corresponding standard deviations (s.d.) averaged over 64 s vs time. The time scale and orbit number are those of the ISEE 1 magnetometer data (77-102A-04G). These summary plots were prepared from ISEE 2 decom tapes. There are three pairs (B field and s.d.) of 24-h frames for each ISEE 1 orbit and 25 days per fiche. The first pair (perigee plots) is centered on the ISEE 1 perigee point, the second pair (pre-apogee) ends at apogee, and the third pair (post-apogee) starts at apogee. Also, data rate, instrument sensitivity, and flip rate are provided on the standard deviation plots. Correlative IMP 8 magnetic field vs time plots using ISEE 1 time frames (as described above) may be found in data set 73-078A-01E. The data pool summary plots (77-102A-04F) are produced using preliminary calibrations and a simple despinning algorithm. Furthermore, the data pool plots contain no information on high frequencies or instrument state. Also no data pool plots are available for ISEE-2. Therefore, this set of summary plots were made. The data is in spacecraft coordinates, with z-axis along the spin axis (nearly along the north ecliptic pole) and x-axis in the spin plane along the projection of the solar direction.
