Maintained by: U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The WDC for STP, Boulder is operated by, and collocated with, the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC). Summary of Data Held: WDC for Solar-Terrestrial Physics
(STP), Boulder collects, analyzes, archives, and disseminates data that describe the space
environment from the surface of the sun to the surface of the Earth including the sun,
interplanetary space, the magnetosphere, the ionosphere, the thermosphere, geomagnetism,
and cosmic rays. Special emphasis is given to data sets that support the modeling of, and
coupling between, regions of space.
User Services: The WDC for STP is located in the David Skaggs Building, 325 Broadway, Boulder, Colorado. Visitors are welcome during normal working hours; advance notice is recommended. A visiting scientist program exists. Digital and analog data are available on a variety of media. Digital data are provided for online file transfers or publication quality prints; magnetic media or CD-ROM. WDC for STP supports the Space Physics Interactive Data Resource (SPIDR) that allows Worldwide Web users to access, browse, display, and analyze STP data.
Data Publications: WDC-A for STP publishes two data reports, Solar Geophy-sical Data is distributed monthly and UAG data reports are distributed on an irregular basis. CD-ROMs of frequently requested data sets are also published. Special Projects: Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites provide global coverage of ionospheric, meteorological, and environmental events. Data from NOAA space environment monitoring satellites at geosynchronous orbit (Geosynchronous Operational Environmental Satellite) and polar orbit (NOAA Polar Operational Environmental Satellite) are available from WDC for STP, Boulder and SPIDR. |
