Geotail Editor-A 3-second Magnetic Field Data

ResourceID

Description

3-second Editor-A magnetic field data from the Geotail spacecraft.

        As of February 1 2008 the Bz component of the magnetic field has been corrected in the data set.

        The Geotail satellite has two editors onboard: The Editor-A data are only acquired with the real-time operation in Usuda Deep Space Center (UDSC) or Uchinoura Space Center (USC), Japan, while the Editor-B data are continuously recorded in the onboard tape recorders for 24 hours and are dumped to the NASA JPL Deep Space Network (DSN) stations.
