IMF clock angle proxy: orbital averaged magnetic field data from MAVEN in Martian magnetosheath

The By and Bz components can be used as IMF clock angle proxy (IMF direction in MSO y-z plane). See the publication by Dong et al. 2019 for details: Dong, Y., Fang, X., Brain, D. A., Hurley, D. M., Halekas, J. S., Espley, J. R., et al.

Time span: Nov 11 2014 - May 21 2024

Time: averaged unix time of MAVEN in magnetosheath of each s/c orbit

# of data points: # of data points (time resolution: 4s) taken in magnetosheath of each s/c orbit. Suggest using only # of data points >150 (i.e. duration > 10 min)
