Description:
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), University of Colorado, Aerospace Engineering Sciences (CU-AES) Department, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF) are pleased to announce a joint long-term effort to make a variety of improved Geosynchronous Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES), Polar Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) and Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) heliophysics data available through SPDF's Coordinated Data Analysis Web (CDAWeb) interface multi-mission data service. Standard CDAWeb services including graphics, listings, supersets/subsets in Common Data Format, FTP/HTTP downloads, and access via CDAWeb web services calls and within Interactive Data Language (IDL) sessions using the SPDF's Coordinated Data Analysis System (CDAS) library will be available. The GOES, POES and DMSP observations provide a multi-decade baseline of critical space weather observations such as radiation belt electrons, solar energetic protons, geosynchronous magnetic fields, and precipitating electrons and protons. NGDC has historically made the real-time operational products available to the public. The motivation for the derivation and release of these improved data sets is to make them more appropriate for use in scientific studies by providing supplementary quantities such as pitch angles and error estimates.
