Magnetic Field Vector Element List: DHXYZF. Note that the list of magnetic field elements that appear in the data set may change over the course of time. For instance, many stations have shifted from DHZ to the XYZ representation of the magnetic field. The time history listed below summarizes changes in element content. A description of the WDC Data Exchange Format for 1-min magnetic field data is included at the end of this data product description.

The values are in tenth-minutes for D and I, and in nanoTeslas for the intensity elements. 395-400 I6 Hourly Mean The average of the preceeding 60 1-minute values. 401-402 Record end marker Two chars "cr"= 13 and "nl"= 10. Each element value and the hourly mean is given in a 6-digit field including a minus sign for negative values. Missing data value spaces are padded with 999999. The records are sorted according to observatory code, year, month, day, element. For the intensity elements: hourly value (nanoTeslas) = tab.base*100 + tab.value For the angles D and I: hourly value (Degrees) = tab.base + tab.value/600
