 # This area is where the data source or distributor can include     |
 # any additional information needed for proper use of data.  For    |
 # example, the observers name and contact, notes on a change of     |
 # instrumentation, reasons for missing data values, definition of   |
 # observed values, geomagnetic location of the observatory, etc.    |
 # This area should also contain the formula for computing the non-  |
 # reported elements and components of the INTERMAGNET binary        |
 # format which do not fit elsewhere.  These include:                |
 # D-conversion:                                                     |
 # = H/3438*10000.                                                   |
 # which is word 8 in the INTERMAGNET binary format and is used      |
 # to convert variations of D in minutes of arc <-> nT.  Please      |
 # note that all of the header records and comment records begin     |
 # with a space in column 1, end with a | (ASCII 124), and are       |
 # padded with spaces - never with tabs.                             |
 # H = squareroot(X*X + Y*Y), cos D = X/H, sin I = Z/F               |
