IPS Solar Wind Speed Database
1. Name of Database:¡¡ IPS Solar Wind Speed Database
2. Institution:¡¡Solar-Terrestrial Environment Laboratory, Nagoya University
3. Contents of Database:
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 2005 (at the present).¡¡Users can make various
kinds of graphic plot on a WWW browser using the IPS solar wind speed database system.
4. Examples of Database:
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
