CD-ROM/DVDs

INTERMAGNET produces CD-ROM/DVDs that contain definitive data (final, processed values) from a global network of magnetic observatories. The INTERMAGNET CD-ROM/DVDs are based upon the model developed by the USGS/NGIC.

The data consist of one-minute, hourly, and daily mean values for the vector components (X,Y, Z or D,H, Z), and have a resolution of tenth-nanoteslas or tenth-minutes of arc (Declination). Total Intensity (F) data and K-index values are also included for many stations. Access software and documentation accompany the CD-ROM/DVDs.

The CD-ROM/DVD itself conforms to the ISO 9660 standards, and can be used on any CD-ROM/DVD reader that operates on this standard.

The access software is a menu-driven program that allows the user to display data in both graphics (plots) and text modes.

Available CD-ROM/DVDs:

|1991| |1992| |1993| |1994| |1995| |1996| |1997| |1998| |1999| |2000| |2001| |2002| |2003| |2004| |2005|

 

How to Obtain CD-ROM/DVDs:

The INTERMAGNET CD-ROM/DVDs are available at no charge to bona fide scientists for academic purposes only. By requesting one or more INTERMAGNET CD-ROM/DVDs you will be agreeing to abide by the "Conditions of Use" below.

Send your request to imso@ipgp.jussieu.fr indicating clearly the CD-ROM/DVDs required, along with your mailing address and name of your academic institution.

 

Conditions Of Use:

The member institutes of INTERMAGNET invest considerable resources to operate their magnetic observatories to INTERMAGNET standards. It is important that the institutes producing the data have a measure of the scientific return on their investment. Accordingly, we have the following Conditions of Use.

CONDITIONS OF USE FOR DATA PROVIDED THROUGH INTERMAGNET

The data made available through INTERMAGNET are provided for your use and are not for commercial use or sale or distribution to third parties without the written permission of the institute operating the observatory. Publications making use of the data should include an acknowledgment statement of the form given below. A citation reference should be sent to the INTERMAGNET Secretary (secretary@intermagnet.org) for inclusion in a publications list on the INTERMAGNET website.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF DATA FROM OBSERVATORIES PARTICIPATING IN INTERMAGNET

We offer two acknowledgement templates. The first is for cases where data from many observatories have been used and it is not practical to list them all, or each of their operating institutes. The second is for cases where research results have been produced using a smaller set of observatories.

Suggested Acknowledgement Text (template 1)

The results presented in this paper rely on data collected at magnetic observatories. We thank the national institutes that support them and INTERMAGNET for promoting high standards of magnetic observatory practice. (www.intermagnet.org)

Suggested Acknowledgement Text (template 2)

The results presented in this paper rely on the data collected at <observatory name>. We thank <institute name>, for supporting its operation and INTERMAGNET for promoting high standards of magnetic observatory practice (www.intermagnet.org).
