Archive Data Tapes of the AFGL Magnetometer Network.
Abstract
All data returned by the data-collection stations of the AFGL magnetometer Network are recorded automatically on a series of magnetic tapes referred to as the ARCHIVE tapes. On these tapes, data are reordered, to effect grouping by instrument and compressed, to minimize the amount of tape used, but are otherwise in raw form and unedited. This report describes the format and content of these tapes with sufficient precision and detail that a prospective user can, if necessary, access the data without further guidance or instruction. Conversion factors and decoding schemes are specified to permit conversion of the data to the usual physical units. Comments and suggestions are included to facilitate subsequent cleaning and editing processes. (Author)
