IPS Solar Wind Speed Database

Name of Database IPS Solar Wind Speed Database
Institution Solar-Terrestrial Environment Laboratory, Nagoya University
Contents This database includes solar wind speed data obtained from interplanetary scintillation (IPS) measurements with the multi-station system of the Solar-Terrestrial Environment Laboratory of the Nagoya University. IPS measurements allow us to probe the solar winds near the sun or at high latitudes, which are inaccessible to in situ measurements, in a relatively short time. This database covers the period from 1983 to 2009 (at the present). Users can make various kinds of graphic plot on a WWW browser using the IPS solar wind speed database system.
Examples

IPS solar wind speed data taken in 1999 (in text format)

---------------------------------------------------------------------
HLA, HLO: Heliocentric latitude and longitude
GLA, GLO: Heliographic latitude and longitude
Longitude and Carrington rotation number are not
on the source surface but at the P-point
An error of -999 means 
only two stations could be used to calculate the speed
