These data are used primary to understand when the moon is in the solar wind, magnetosheath, or magnetotail of the Earth. The following table gives the approximate GSE longitudes of the moon when it is in each of these regions. Solar Wind 0 - 130 Solar Wind 230 - 360 Sheath 130 - 160 Sheath 200 - 230 Tail 160 - 200 Both the MAG and the ER data characteristics are strongly influenced by the topological region in which the data are acquired. These data are derived from the NAIF LP_EPHEM (SPK) kernel. The GSE (Geocentric Solar Ecliptic) coordinate system has its X-axis along the Earth->Sun line and its Z-axis parallel to the ecliptic normal. GSE longitude is zero along the Sun line and increases to the east. The GSM (Geocentric Solar Magnetospheric) coordinate system also has its X-axis along the Earth->Sun line. In this coordinate system, the X-Z plane is defined such that it contains the Earth's magnetic dipole moment which passes through 78.565 degrees north latitude, -69.761 east longitude."
