Data Set Overview
=================
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: Ness et al,
1979A Lepping et al, 1981 Connerney,Acuna,Ness, 1981

Overview
========
This dataset contains some data gaps and spikes. The
dataset does contain a flag value which has been provided
by the PI (Norman Ness) that indicates whether or not a
particular record has been contaminated by software error
or by spacecraft interference ( a flag value of 1 indicates
a bad value, 0 indicates that the record has either not
been evaluated or is good). Some records that are obviously
contaminated have not been flagged. The hourly summary data
will show a contamination code and data quality code of 2
when data in the hour have not been flagged but are
obviously in error and a contamination code of 1 when the
hour contains flagged records.
