STEP Polar Network

Name: STEP Polar Network
Abbreviation: STEPPN
Institution: University of Tokyo, Graduate School of Science, Dept. of Earth 
and Planetary Physics

Contents: Magnetic field and Auroral data acquired from STEP Polar 
Network in the northern hemisphere. DC magnetic field: Daily files with a 
size of 8640 bytes (1440 minutes x 3 components x 2 bytes for one binary 
integer) are the main body of the data base extracted from the raw data 
(fluxgate magnetometer; 1 Hz sampling; 125 pT resolution; total range 2000 
nT; 21 stations in the polar cap the auroral zone and in the subauroral zone). 
Also Postscript files of daily stackplots for the minute values: A list is 
available for files (50 MB daily; Search-coil magnetometer; 10 Hz sampling; 
1 pT resolution; total range 2nT at 1 Hz; from 30 stations).
Aurora: A data catalog, listing hourly synoptic of auroral activities for 
observation campaigns. Documented instruction files Instruction files; 
README, Station information, and Map files Data Availability: Files 
mentioned above placed in the publicly accessible directories at hpgrl.grl.s.u-
tokyo.ac.jp, (ftp)/pub/magnet, (ftp)/pub/aurora, and (ftp)/pub/search-coil, 
can be used freely with a general rule of "anonymous ftp". The same Internet 
address is also accessible for WWW cliants by MOSAIC. Original high 
resolution data can be provided for requests of collaboration base mostly due 
to limitation of man-power.
