31. T. McClanahan and S. Kramer provided support in the processing of the data. R. Fernandez-Borda computed the zero-level corrections for the instrument N.F.N. was partially supported by NASA grant NNG04GB71C to The Catholic University of America. N. Sheeley and Yi-Ming Wang provided estimates of the speed at the latitude of V1 for the calculation of the predicted magnetic field strength during 2005, and C. Smith provided the magnetic field strength and D. McComas provided the solar wind speed from the Advanced Composition Explorer spacecraft at 1 AU.
