Rules of the Road for STEL Induction Magnetometer Data Use:

1. Please contact Kazuo Shiokawa (shiokawa at stelab.nagoya-u.ac.jp)
before using the data for any publications and/or presentations.

2. References: Shiokawa, K., R. Nomura, K. Sakaguchi, Y. Otsuka, Y.

magnetometer network for observation of high-frequency geomagnetic

3. For frequencies below ~1Hz, use the following equation to obtain
amplitude values in units of nT/s: dB/dt (nT/s) = data (V) /
quick_sensitivity.  The value of quick_sensitivity is given in global
attributes.  For frequencies above ~1Hz, use the exact sensitivity
curve to obtain absolute amplitude of waves.

4. Please note that the positive direction (polarity) of H, D, and Z
are different depending on the station.  For example, in February
2011, the polarity is ATH: positive=northward, eastward, upward; MGD:
positive=northward, eastward, downward; PTK: positive=northward,
eastward, downward; MSR: positive=southward, westward, upward; STA:
positive=northward, eastward, downward.  Please see

latest information.
