Geotail 15-sec magnetic field data, solar wind only

ResourceID
spase://JAXA/NumericalData/Geotail/MGF/PT15S

Description

Data consist of 15-sec averages of magnetic field
magnitude and GSE Cartesian components, from the MGF magnetometer on
Geotail. Data are for only the solar wind phases of the Geotail orbit.
The Geotail position vector in GSE coordinates is included.
