      <Description>Calibrated fluxgate magnetometer data acquired by TRACERS. Data have been calibrated, despun, and detrended against the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF).  These CDF files are labeled using a version number (x,y,z), where x=0 indicates preliminary data subject to further revision of the attitude solution. Torquer coil signals are not processed at this stage; therefore, measurements acquired during torquer coils operation are clipped from this data. Caveats: (1) uses a best estimate for spacecraft attitude adjustment; (2) includes an ad-hoc delta-IGRF determined as a function of orbit phase to further minimize the amount of background field in the delta-Bs. (3) some intervals retain residual spin-period noise of undetermined origin, possibly due to gain nonlinearity. </Description>
