Notes 1999 hour means: In WDC format dataset, incorrect formatting at lines 535 and 802 means incorrect values for Z component on June 22nd and September 13th. (fixed 2012-10-30)

1990 hour means: Formatting error in Z component data for June 22nd and September 13th. (fixed 2012-10-30)

1909 hour means: In WDC format dataset, tabular base for Z component from March to December too high by 3,000nT. (fixed 2012-10-30)

1911 hour means: D component data for April is suspect. (no change made to data).

1932 hour means: In WDC format dataset, there are two sets of values for month 6 D component, and none for month 7. The second set of month 6 D component values belongs to month 7. [fixed 2011-08-25]

1941 hour means: In WDC format dataset, H component in July is too low by 20,500nT. (fixed 2012-10-30)

1949 hour means: In WDC format dataset, month 6, D component, day 10 is incorrectly labelled as day 00. [fixed 2011-08-25]

1949-1996 hour means: replaced datasets with re-processed data provided by observatory. [fixed 2010-06-21]

1952 hour means: In WDC format dataset, incorrect formatting at line 619 means incorrect values for Z component on July 11th. (fixed 2012-10-30)

1967 hour means: In WDC format dataset, month 1, D component, day 2 is incorrectly labelled as day 0. [fixed 2011-08-25]

1987 Hourly means: In WDC format dataset, H tabular base for all months except October should have 1 added. [fixed on 2009-01-23]

1989 Hour means: In WDC format dataset, month 11, Z component, day 9, the component is incorrectly labelled as '0'. [fixed 2011-08-25]

1992 Feb Hourly means: In WDC format dataset, D tabular base was 2, should have been 3. Z component tabular values for November were too low by 50. [fixed on 2009-01-23]

1994 Hourly means: In WDC format dataset, Z tabular base should have 1 subtracted for February, April - August, and October. Also tabular base should be 441 instead of 52, 53 or 54. [fixed on 2009-01-23]
