            The 210 MM Magnetic Observation Group
During the STEP period (1990-1995), the Solar-Terrestrial Environment Laboratory (STEL), Nagoya University (Y. Tanaka, K. Yumoto, K. Shiokawa) conducted multinationally coordinated magnetic observations along the 190, 210, and 250 (deg) magnetic meridians (MMs). After the Principal Investigator, K. Yumoto, moved from the STEL to Kyushu University on February 1, 1996, the 210 MM magnetic observations are being conducted by Kyushu University in cooperation with and/or courtesy of the following institutes and organizations (co-investigator and cooperator names are in parentheses): University of Newcastle (B.J. Fraser, F.W. Menk), Electronics Research Laboratory, DSTO, Salisbury (K.J.W. Lynn, D.M. Sutton, Trevor Harris), Learmonth Solar Observatory (J. A. Kennewell) and Canberra Observatory of IPS Radio and Space Services (D.G. Cole, P. Wilkinson, R. Marshall), Mt. Stromlo Observatory (Vince O'Connor), CSIRO Tropical Ecosystems Research Centre (Tony Hertog), Weipa North State School (Kath Newman, Pam Diggins), Birdsville Police Station (W.J. Guan), Dalby Agriculture College (G.K. Smith, Andrew Luhrs, L.R. Harris), Katanning Research Station, Great Southern Agriculture Research Institute (J. Montgomery, D. H. Ryall, Trevor Bell) and Australian Antarctic Division (R.J. Morris, D. Lehmann, P. Jansen, Perry Roberts) in Australia; National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) (S.L. Manurung, Wilson Sinambela, Obay Sobari, Mamat Ruhimat, Sukmadradjat) in Indonesia; Tohoku University (T. Tamura, T. Sakanoi, H. Fukunishi), Tohoku Institute of Technology (M. Seto, Y. Kitamura), Kakioka Magnetic Observatory (S. Tsunomura), Tokai University (T. Sakurai), University of Tokyo (K. Hayashi), and Kyushu University (H. Tachihara) in Japan; Paradise Wewak Hotel (S. Kawabata) in Papua New Guinea; Coast & Geodetic Survey Department, National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (Commodore Renato B. Feir, E. A. Macaspac, A.A. Algaba) in Philippines; Institute of Cosmphysical Research and Radiowave Propagation (IKIR) (E.F. Vershinin, A. Buzevich), Institute of Cosmophysical Research and Aeronomies (IKFIA) (G.F. Krymsky, S.I. Solovyev, N. Molochushkin), Institute of Physics of the Earth (IFZ) (V.A. Pilipenko, L. Baransky), and Pacific Oceanological Institute(POI) (V.A. Akulichev, V.M. Nikiforov) in Russia; Lunping Observatory, Telecommunication Training Institute (S.-W. Chen) and Institute of Space Science, National Central University (J.K. Chao, J.Y. Liu) in Taiwan; and U.S. Geological Survey (A.W. Green, D.C. Herzog), Guam Magnetic Observatory (P. Hattori), Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (M. Blackford, W.J. Mass, R.K. Nygard, Chip McCreery), Koror Observatory of the U.S. National Weather Service (Hirao Kloulchad), and University of Alaska, Fairbanks (S.-I. Akasofu, J. V. Olson, D. Osborne) in the United States. The database and archives are being maintained by STEL, Nagoya University. The contact person at STEL is K. Shiokawa.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS---Our sincere thanks go to H. Oya, Tohoku University, and all the members of the 210 MM Magnetic Observation Project for their ceaseless support. The 210 MM Magnetic Observation Project was also supported by M. Nishino, T. Kato, M. Sato, Y. Kato, M. Sera, Y. Ikegami, K. Hidaka, T. Asai, T. Ogawa, and S. Kokubun of STE Lab., Nagoya University. Financial support was given by the Ministry of Education, Science, and Culture of Japan in the form of Grants-in-Aid for Overseas Scientific Survey (02041039, 03041061, 04044077, 05041060, 06044094, 08041105). Financial support was also given by Y. Fukao ans Y. Hamano, the University of Tokyo during the OHP(Ocean Hemisphere Project) period. Support for the production of S-RAMP Database was provided by grants in aid from the Ministry of Education, Science, and Culture in Japan.
