Update on Solar and Space Weather Databases Online at NGDC
Abstract
Some new solar and space weather databases are available online at the NOAA National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/. These include the solar radio spectral and fixed frequency one-second data from the RSTN network, daily Debrecen sunspot imagery and reduced tabular sunspot region data, daily sunspot drawings from the SOON network, the GOES Solar X-ray Imager (SXI), and ACE satellite monthly summary plots of the interplanetary magnetic field, high energy particles, and solar wind parameters. In addition NGDC continuously updates numerous solar, cosmic ray, geomagnetic and ionospheric databases. Selected databases of interest to the community are also added to the online archives, such as the sunspot region tilt database 1917-1985 from Mt. Wilson and Kodaikanal. These data can be used to investigate the activity on the Sun and its effects on the Earth's environment. The monthly report Solar-Geophysical Data (SGD) is now available in PDF format at http://sgd.ngdc.noaa.gov. The NGDC website also includes educational links.
