Abbreviations:
- Station: Station name
- Lat: station latitude (decimal degrees)
- Long: station longitude (decimal degrees)
- GLat: geomagnetic latitude of the station
- GLon: geomagnetic longitude of the station
- LSTM: Local Standard Time Meridian, The (LSTM) is calculated according to the equation: LSTM =15°·ΔTGMT. where ΔTGMT is the difference of the Local Time (LT) from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in hours. 15°= 360°/24 hours.
- Opened: when the equipment commenced operating
- Closed: when the equipment ceased operating
