  • . DD = UT day of month

  • O = indicates that the begin time of the observation follows
  • HHmm = UT hour and minute of beginning of observation

  • H = last digit of UT hour
  • ab = total electron content in units of electrons/m2 where ab = a.b
  • pp = power of ten to apply to a.b

Note: abpp reported as 1202 would equal 1.2 x 102Wm-1

Note: / is to be used for data not available.
