***********************************************
Some Notes:
* At PTK, the induction magnetometer sensors were buried under the ground
on November 21, 2007. Before that, the sensors were left on the
ground for test observations.
* After December 1, 2007, the D-component at Sata is disconnected.
* H and D components of the fluxgate magnetometer at KAG (Kagoshima)
are short-circuited in the cable before the data recorder for
September 8, 2007 - January 28, 2009. Please do not use the
fluxgate magnetometer data at this interval.
* On Jan.21-Feb.18, 2009, and Mar.28-Apr.17, 2009, a radio tramsmitter
worked at Magadan at 4-28 MHz and the induction magnetometer data becomes
highly noisy.
* After Oct. 25, 2016, ATH magnetometer was moved from AUGO-I to AUGSO at
54.60N, 246.36E, and Z-component sensor was removed and replaced by the riometer
