* After the Principal Investigator, K. Yumoto, moved from the
Solar-Terrestrial Environment Laboratory (STEL) to Kyushu University on
February 1, 1996, the 210 MM magnetic observations are being conducted by
Kyushu University and 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. Watanabe, T. Oguti, and S. Kokubun of STE L, Nagoya
University. Financial support was provided by the Ministry of
Education, Science and Culture of Japan in the form of grants-in-aid for the
Overseas Scientific Survey (02041039, 03041061, 04044077, 05041060,
06044094), General Scientific Research (02402015), Developmental Scientific
Research (02504002), and the International STEP project. Support for
the production of the S-RAMP Database was provided by grants-in-aid from the
Ministry of Education, Science and Culture in Japan.
