What is “ICSWSE” ?
International Center for Space Weather Science andEducation (ICSWSE)• we call it ““Iku Sei” (nurture in Japanese)• Reestablished in 2012, April from SERC
• Purpose : to push the frontiers of international space weather
research and education

new building of ICSWSE

What is “ICSWSE” ?
the program
1. Expansion and promotion of Space Weather as a field of science
2. Closer investigation of changes of climate/geospace/disasters
3. Examination of the medical and biological aspects of man working in space
4 Realizing international space weather research and education

Strong commitment to UN activities and“International Space Weather Initiative” (ISWI)

Current our Data Distribution Scheme
Two paper works are required➢data request form
➢data release agreement form
Take long time from requesting to getting data
➢Over a few month in some cases
Limited data release➢Reject your request according to time and circumstances
Other many problems…

Too much troubles to use for you
and manage for us!

24

New Data Distribution Policy of ICSWSE
Easy access for our magnetometer data:➢1-sec MAGDAS data (from 2005) release: at the end of this March➢IAGA-2002 Exchange Format➢Simple registration on the web is required (name, e-mail, etc)

Future Plan:Good!

➢ Access MAGDAS near real-time data
➢ Access to our other magnetometer observation projects (from 1985)➢ Provide various kind of processed data/plots for space weather study➢ For quicklook: time series plot, spectrogram, etc➢ Geomagnetic Indices: EE-index, Pulsations (Pi2, Pc3-5)➢ Plasmashere diagnosis➢ etc.

Happy!
