Early Soviet satellite magnetic field measurements in the years 1964 and 1970

We present a collection of magnetic field absolute measurements performed by the early Soviet magnetic satellite missions Kosmos-49 (1964) and Kosmos-321 (1970). A total of 17 300 measured values are available for the Kosmos-49 mission, covering homogeneously 75 % of the Earth's surface between...

Description
Summary:We present a collection of magnetic field absolute measurements performed by the early Soviet magnetic satellite missions Kosmos-49 (1964) and Kosmos-321 (1970). A total of 17 300 measured values are available for the Kosmos-49 mission, covering homogeneously 75 % of the Earth's surface between 49∘ latitude north and south. About 5000 measured values are available for the Kosmos-321 mission, covering homogeneously 94 % of the Earth's surface between 71∘ latitude north and south. The data are available at PANGAEA (Krasnoperov et al., 2020, https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.907927).
