The software for downloading the AE and Dst data does not have a radio button 'go' or 'submit'. Both pages request key-in something and then hitting a return key. The return key will send your request to us, and data will be sent back to you. In AE and Dst download, there are two types of data format, 'text' and 'ZIP'. But I wish the data in my file.
Many browsers has 'save file' menu.
For example, MS Internet Explorer and Netscape have 'file' menu, and 'save as' selection. Select this menu and select the disk and directory you wish to save to and enter a file name you want to have the data. QL-Dst is derived from very noisy data, which is caused by local noise near the observatory. AND also during the data transmission from the station to us. Spikes are usually caused by such noise.
