The one-second resolution geomagnetic field data are useful in various research fields such as geomagnetic pulsation, crustal resistivity, etc.. However, it is still not so convenient to use such high-time resolution data on-line because of the limitation in network transfer speed.
This CD-ROM contains the one second resolution geomagnetic field data observed at Kakioka Magnetic Observatory located at (Geographic Latitude, Geographic Longitude) = (36.23, 140.19). The data have been supplied to the World Data Center for Geomagnetism, Kyoto for public use. The latest data are available from the data center through WWW on-line service (http://swdcwww.kugi.kyoto-u.ac.jp/).
Three magnetic components (H, Z and D) are measured by the fluxgate magnetometer every second with 0.01nT resolution. The values are derived using provisional base line values. For more information, please refer "Report of the Kakioka Magnetic Observatory".
The data on this CD-ROM are written with 2-byte binary integer usually used in the UNIX system on most work stations. We need to exchange the order of the two (i.e., upper and lower) bytes when we use the data with PCs (i.e., DOS, LINUX, WINDOWS etc.). The sample program on this CD-ROM written in C and FORTRAN language can be used in most systems. A plot program (plot.exe) on PC which create a Post Script file is also included on this CD-ROM. The 'quick_viewer' directory contains a Setup program for Windows95. This software was developped by Dr. Y. Sanoo at Asahi University. To install it, change the current directory to the 'quick_viewer' directory and double click the 'Setup' icon. (Note; These softwares are available only for the data from Kakioka.)
The directory and file structure in this CD-ROM is as follow:
