| Data Set Abstract |
This data set includes Voyager 2 Jupiter encounter magnetometer
data that have been resampled at a 48.0 second sample rate. The
data set is composed of 6 columns: 1) ctime - this column
contains the data acquisition time. The time is always output in
the ISO standard spacecraft event time format
(yyyy-mm-dd-Thh:mm:ss.sss) but is stored internally in Cline time
which is measured in seconds after 00:00:00.000 Jan 01, 1966, 2)
br - this column contains the radial component of the magnetic
field, 3) bphi - this column contains the phi component of the
magnetic field, 4) btheta - this column contains the theta
component of the magnetic field, 5) bmag - this column contains
the magnitude of the magnetic field, 6) flag - a flag value that
indicates either software error or spacecraft hardware
interference reduced confidence in this record (flag value of 1
is bad , 0 is good or unchecked). All magnetic field observations
are measured in nanoTeslas. The coordinate system for this
dataset is Minus System III. All of the magnetic field data are
calibrated (see the instrument calibration description for more
details). The Jupiter System III coordinate system is defined in
Dessler 1983 and the reference documents for this dataset are:
