These geomagnetic field data are provided in IAGA-2002x format (extended IAGA2002 format) with a column for the QA/QC (Quality Assurance/Quality Control) flags added to the original IAGA2002 format, which may be more popular.

In each record, 16 digits (4 components x 4 digits) are reserved for the QA/QC flags right after the observation data. However, this field is not used yet, and is therefore left blank.
