CEDAR Data Base Summary Plots

Please also see Data Services/ New data.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: This study made use of the CEDAR Database at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, which is supported by the National Science Foundation.

Click on the location name on the map for public summary plots or other information. Follow the Rules of the Road in any data use and submit an access form before your first data use.

The default Summary Plot data is in TAB ascii format which can be read by:

Fortran program to read ascii TAB file from DB

IDL program to read ascii TAB file from DB
Get also the INFO format that describes the data and the parameters by replacing 'TAB' in the URL with 'INFO'. An alternate ascii format is FLAT, where all the data in the prologue (time information) and the JPAR 1-dimensional (1-D) arrays are repeated with data from the MPAR 2-dimensional (2-D) arrays in MROWS lines. Codes to read this data will be forthcoming. The JPAR and MPAR variables in the 1-D and 2-D arrays are defined as integer codes and mneumonics in the 'INFO' format and also in Documents/ Parameter Codes.

Indices
We have only plotted 3 of the indices in the CEDAR Database here. For the other indices that we hold, there are pointers to other locations.
- Vostok Polar Cap Index (1978-03/2001 in DB)
- Hemispheric Power Index (1978-12/00 in DB, 1978-present elsewhere)
- Midnight Equatorward Auroral Boundary (1983-12/00 in DB, 1983-present elsewhere)
- Dst (1957-12/99 in DB, 1957-present elsewhere)
- AE, AL, AU, AO (1/78-6/88 in DB, 7/57-6/88 elsewhere)
- Kp, Ap, sunspots, 10.7 cm flux (1960-present in DB; elsewhere Kp,Ap (1932-present), sunspots (1818-present), 10.7 cm flux (1947-present))
- IMF and plasma data (11/63-12/98 in DB; elsewhere hourly same, 1 min or finer IMF (1973-present), 2 min or finer plasma data (1973-present))
Large Model Outputs
Campaigns
