Interball-Tail Magnetic field measurements . Magnetic field measurements on-board the Interball Tail Probe are carried out by the FM-3I and MIF instruments. ... FM-3 M2 magnetometer failed in February 1996, FM-3 M1 and MIF are working until now. Data presented here are the combination of the data of all magnetometers. First of all FM-3 M1 data are used, if they are absent, MIF data used and if data of both magnetometer are absent, FM-3 M2 data presented. ...

The large magnetic cloud caused by coronal mass ejection at the Sun on January 6, 1997 came to the Earth at early morning on January 10 and continue to interact with Earth's magnetosphere till January 11 (see for example home page of this event prepeared by Dr. M.Peredo http://www-istp.gsfc.nasa.gov/istp/cloud_jan97/event.html ). ... During the days discussed here INTERBALL-1 satellite was in the magnetosphere (MS) near its dusk flunk - see the Fig. 1 for compearing. ...
