Summary of Data Held: This Data Center is being reorganized. Archival databases are being constructed for data from satellites including YOHKOH, ASCA, AKEBONO and GEOTAIL. It is anticipated that some of these data will become available through this WDC in 1996. Limited amounts of data from older satellite projects may be available at present, where possible.

User Services: The WDC is open to visitors during normal working hours. The planned information system will make it possible for the user to have access to a directory and data through a WWW server. The Center facilities will include a high capacity magnetic tape library and a workstation for data retrieval and analysis.

Data Products, Publications, Catalogs: Edited results have been published as SolarTerrestrial Activity Charts (STAC) giving summary plots of selected key parameters of solar activity, solar wind condition and magnetospheric activity.
