Description of the ASCII file containing the magnetic conjugations of arbitrary groundbased magnetic station (GBS) and arbitrary list of the satellites


The first line contains the name of the groundbased magnetic station (GBS)

Further the time intervals of the GBS conjugation with various satellites from the list considered.

For selected time intervals the information as follows is shown with 10-min step:

In case of the simultaneous conjugation of the GBS with more then one satellite the new line appeare with addition satellite parameters.

1. UTYYMMDD DATE: year (YYYY), month (MM), day (DD)
2. HHMMSS Universal time: .hhmnss
3. SATNAN Satellite name
4. R (RE) the satellite's geocentric distance (Re)
5. GLATS (deg) the satellite's geographical latitude
6. GLONS (deg)the satellite's geographical longitude
7. GLATF (deg) the geographical latitude of the magnetic footprint in the Northern hemisphere
8. GLONF (deg) the geographical longitude of the magnetic footprint in the Northern hemisphere
9. REG the simulative geophysical region corresponding to the satellite position
10. CORLT (deg) the corrected geomagnetic latitude
11. CORMLT (h) the corrected geomagnetic local time
12. arcln (Re)The length of the magnetic field line (satellite - footprint)
12. MOD IOPT the magnetic field model version used during magnetic mapping
