	Select Previous Ionospheric Soundings Data
	This data selection tool is now deprecated. The functionality is available more conveniently through the Prompt Ionospheric Database. Please try it out.
	
	You can choose to view the date/times of availability, images of previous
	ionograms, the ARTIST autoscaled parameters, or true-height analysis
	(using POLAN with certain
	default options) on either
	the autoscaled data or the manually checked data for a specified date and
	station. If you retrieve a full day of ionograms the page may be quite
	large; soundings are normally taken half-hourly (48 ionograms per day) but
	are taken quarter-hourly (96 ionograms) during Regular World Days, and it
	takes roughly a second to generate each ionogram from the raw ionosonde
	data.
	
		A basic introduction to ionosonde theory
		and ionogram interpretation is
		available.
	
		Note that you will need to register to have
		access to the ionograms and scaled data.
