Data Set Abstract This data set includes Voyager 2 Jupiter encounter magnetometer data given in Heliographic coordinates and averaged from the 60 ms instrument sample rate to a 48 second resampled rate. The data set consists of the following columns: 1) UT of the sample in the format yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.sssZ, 2-4) spacecraft clock (m65536, mod60, fds-line), 5) magnetometer id (1 = LFM, 2 = HFM), 6) Br (radial, Sun to spacecraft, B-field component), 7) Bt (azimuthal B-field component, positive in the direction of planetary orbital motion), 8) Bn (North/South B-field component, positive northward), 9) Bmag (magnitude of the averaged components), 10) avg_Bmag (average of the magnetic field magnitudes), 11) delta (latitude = arcsin(Bn/Bmag)), 12) lambda (longitude = 180. - atan(Bt/Br)), 13-15) rms vector, 16) npts (number of points in average), 17) data 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 nanoTesla. All of the magnetic field data are calibrated (see the instrument calibration description for more details).
