I Introduction

This Web page includes numerical data and plots of cosmic-ray neutron observations covering the interval from 1953 to present. Contents of the page are also available via CD-R, upon request. Quality control in a minimum level (e. g. checking dating and removing apparent erroneous data) is being applied by the WDC. It should be noticed that datasets for recent several years are provisional. Although the WDC is updating our database frequently, we would strongly recommend users of new datasets to take a contact to the relevant data source. In this READ_ME, we show several ways of data-accesses (data portals), data formats and remarks for data usage. Number of datasets (approximately equal to the number of operating stations) for each year is shown in the Appendix.

II Access to Data

This Web page has three portals shown below to access numerical data (text files) and plots (PDF):

(1) List of Stations (Sorting an all-in-one Data by the Name of a Station)

This portal includes a table of information on each neutron station: name of the station (mainly name of the place of observations), the abbreviated name of the station(6 characters), the geographic latitude (deg.), the geographic longitude (deg.), the altitude above the sea level (meters), the vertical cut-off rigidity (GV), number and type of neutron detectors, and data coverage (years). For several stations with the cut-off rigidity lower than 1 GV, this value has been set to zero (0.0). From the column of "Data Coverage", you can jump to a PDF image file and a data file named L_all.txt (LONGFORMAT, see Section II) which covers all period in which the station was operated. An example of plots is shown below. The horizontal axis is years and the vertical axis is monthly averages of real counts.

(2) Data Coverage (Sorting a Yearly PDF Plot by the Name of a Station)

This portal shows a table of yearly data coverage for each station. In this table, a certain year of full data coverage is indicated by a letter (*), and a letter (-) is used for a partly-covered year. You can see the yearly data plot (12 months) by clicking these letters. An example of yearly plots is given below. The horizontal axis is the days of a month (always 31 days), and the vertical axis shows the variations (%) from the monthly average. The monthly average is given on the right-hand side of the 0 % line for each month. The number given in the lower right corner is the yearly average. A data plot of full data coverage for each station can be accessed by clicking "all.pdf" on the right-end of the table.

 

(3) Numerical Data (Sorting Numerical Data by Year or Station)

You can sort numerical datasets from this portal basing on a year or the name of a station. For neutron counts data, three datasets with different formats are installed in this Website (see Section II).

The principal format is the 4096-byte "LONGFORMAT" which has been currently employed by the WDC for Cosmic Rays. A dataset in this format includes information for data usage in the header section, e. g. factors and constants which are inevitable to calculate real count numbers.

The 80-byte "CARDFORMAT" is a simplified format without information on data usage. Hourly counts in one day are tabulated in two lines, namely 0h – 11h and 12h - 23h UT. Datasets in this format are convenient to check tabulated values quickly because LONGFORMAT data are not convenient to manage on a screen.

The "SHORTFORMAT" in which hourly counts in one day are tabulated in two lines, namely 0h – 11h and 12h - 23h UT. Datasets in this format are convenient to check tabulated values quickly.Detailed descriptions of these two formats are given below.

When you select the "Year" key in the title of this sub-section, you will find LONGFORMAT, CARDFORMAT, SHORTFORMAT and PDFPLOT folders in a yearly base. From the "Station" key, you can find folders for each station. Each folder consists of LONGFORMAT, CARDFORMAT, SHORTFORMAT, data file (L_all.txt) and a PDF file. These files cover all period in which the station was operated.

III Data Formats

In this section, details of data formats, which have been used currently at the WDC for Cosmic Rays, are given. All of tabulated counts are hourly values. The first value on each day is the count in the interval from 0:00 UT to 0:59 UT. The last value of the day is that in 23:00 – 23:59 UT. It is important to note that the number of days in each month is always 31 days in our database.

(1) LONGFORMAT

The LONGFORMAT data with 4096 bytes for one month is a fundamental dataset of the WDC, having a header section including information on the data source, location, altitude, coefficients and constants which are necessary to calculate real counts. Information on the data source is included also. The number of days in one month is fixed to be 31 days. So that, every years have 31 x 12 = 372 days in our data. Hourly data for days which do not exist in the normal calendar (e.g. "31 April") are filed by 99999, which mean "no data". The data size for one-year data is fixed to be 49152 bytes. An example of data with this format is shown below:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the header section from the 75th to 364th characters of each monthly dataset, following information for data usage is given:

1. 1.The full name of the station (the organization conducting the observation, and the address of the organization.
2. 2.Information on the neutron monitor.
3. 3.For pressure-corrected data, the average pressure and the correction factor with which the observed counts are corrected are also given.
4. 4. The number of the operating counters is given by two digits from 155th bytes. From 164th to 364th bytes, information on the pressure correction, description on the normalization, information on data source (e. g. e-mail address) are given. For some stations, additional information concerning special observational situation to be taken it into account in data handling, e.g. heavy snow falls or strong wind, is given in the space.

LONGFORMAT data can be sorted from the table of Data Coverage for Numerical Data. The data can be sorted by Year or Station.

(2) SHORTFORMAT

We have introduced a new format (SHORT FORMAT) to improve inconveniences in handling the 4096-bite LONG FORMAT. The data length is shorten to include 12 one-hour five-digit data in each one line, namely two lines for 24-hour data (line 1 is for the data from the start of 0 UTC to the end of 11 UTC, and line 2 is for those from the start of 12 UTC to the end of 23 UTC). The time of "no data" is shown by 99999. We add also 22-line header section, which includes information, on the top of each monthly dataset. The information included in the header section is almost identical to that of the header section of LONGFORMAT data. The number of days in a month is fixed to be 31 days, and the data for extra days (e.g. 31 April) are filled by 99999. A monthly dataset consists of 84 lines, and 1008 lines for one year, including the header sections. The number of days in a yearly dataset is fixed to 31 x 12 = 372 days.

SHORTFORMAT data can be sorted by Year or Station.

(3) CARDFORMAT

Datasets of this format are used in the WDC for data management because it is convenient to see on a screen what values are included. Information which is necessary to estimate actual counts is seen in the header section of LONGFORMAT data. The CARDFORMAT data are those of 80-byte data length. The size of one-year dataset is fixed to 60264 bytes. Each month has data for 31 days, and days with no data are filled by 99999. The number of days in a yearly dataset is 31 x 12 = 372 days. An example of datasets in this format for one day (1 January 1991) is shown below.

IV Quality Control

Quality check procedures in a minimum level are applied by the WDC. In addition to a fundamental check for consistency of dating of the original data, we remove apparent erroneous data which were mistakenly included in the data. We are also removing "unnatural" spiky noises exceeding a 3-sigma level of normal fluctuations. Substantial corrections are made after consulting with relevant data sources.

V Remarks for Data Usage

The data in the database are opened to research workers without limitation, following the policy of ICSU WDC System (Full and Open Access). The WDC strongly recommends you, however, to contact with original data sources when you use database in your research works because a part of our datasets, particularly new data obtained in this several years, have been under revision. Revised data are being posted in the Web page of the WDC.

We would appreciate it very much if you could acknowledge the contribution of the WDC in your publication and send us two copies when you publish your work on the basis of the database. Your acknowledgement will be helpful very much for us to enforce the "reason of presence" of the WDC.

VI Contact Point

Inquiry about the database should be addressed to;
