Coupling, Energetics and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions (CEDAR) is a focused Global Change program sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The scientific objectives of the program are described in the CEDAR Phase III document (1.8MB, acrobat reader required).

The CEDAR Data System (formerly the CEDAR Database and before that, the Incoherent Scatter Radar Database) is a cooperative project between the High Altitude Observatory (HAO) division of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and numerous institutions that provide upper atmosphere data and model output for community use.

The CEDAR Data System mission is to provide:

• long term archive for observations and models of the Earth's upper atmosphere and geophysical indices and parameters needed to interpret them,
• browsing capability to survey the data holdings and identify periods, instruments, models, of interest,
• reliable data access methods that are fast, stable and interactive, and
• detailed documentation on data acquisition and reduction.

What's New

• June 6, 2008 - OPeNDAP data attribute structure (DAS) has changed for CEDAR data files
• Register for 2008 CEDAR Workshop
• We are now accepting material for possibly publication in the Spring 2008 issue of CEDAR Post. Post your material here
• We have completed the move of the web site to the wiki. If you can't find something on the wiki that used to be on the web, please let us know.
• Data access and plotting is now done through the VSTO data portal.
• Forum updates now allow you to "watch" forums and topics of interest.
  • If you're watching a forum, when a new topic is created you will be informed via email
  • If you're watching a topic, whenever that topic is updated (reply posted, status changed, deleted), you will be informed of that change via email
  • To watch a forum, on the forum you are interested in simply click 'Watch Forum'. You can then click on 'UnWatch Forum' if you are no longer interested
  • To watch a topic, go to that topic and click on 'Watch Topic'. You can then click on 'UnWatch Topic' if you are no longer interested
