King, J H

Accurate measurements of the weak interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) beyond the terrestrial bow shock are among the more difficult studies in space physics to perform. Since the May 1965 launch of IMP 3 and for virtually a full solar cycle, IFM measurements have been made on a nearly continuous basis. The purpose of this report presents an IFM data set that is uniform with respect to inclusion of cislunar IFM data. It has as complete time coverage as presently possible over a full solar cycle. The report consists of listings and plots of cislunar hourly averaged IFM parameters over the period November 27, 1963, to May 17, 1974, and a discussion of the mutual consistency of the IFM data used herein. The magnetic tape from which the plots and listings were generated, which is available from the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC), is also discussed. (GRA)
