The Space Environment Laboratory (SEL) is an agency of the Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The Laboratory provides near-real time space environment information services to its civilian and military customers, conducts research on the solar-terrestrial environment and develops techniques for applying new research insights to its operational services. SEL's Space Environment Services Center, operated jointly by civilian and U.S. Air Force staff, provides recent solar-terrestrial data, summaries, and forecasts to the public via electronic media as well as by U.S. mail. Data are provided in a variety of formats including solar images, text reports, data lists, and data plots.
The Solar-Terrestrial Physics division of the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) archives data in three main disciplines (Geomagnetism, Ionosphere, and Solar & Upper Atmosphere), and two related satellite programs (DMSP and GOES). Most of the data in the SEL database is archived by NGDC and available on various media. Their CD-ROM with historical solar indices may be of interest to SEL customers.
In addition to solar-terrestrial physics, the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) manages environmental data in the fields of solid earth geophysics, marine geology and geophysics, paleclimatology, and glaciology.
The Hiraiso Solar Terrestrial Research Center of the Communications Research Laboratory, Japan, provides a space environment information service providing solar radio spectra, H-alpha images, geomagnetic data, digital ionograms, and a variety of other solar-terrestrial data.
The Space Environment Effects Branch (SEEB) at NASA Lewis works to understand, model, and predict the effects of space environment interactions on spacecraft and its related systems. SEEB maintains a list of space environment and effects resources available through the web.
The Plasma Science and Technology home page links to an information resources page. This page contains links to Space Plasma sites.
NASA Goddard provides recent images, and archived images, from the SDAC archives. The images include full-disk magnetograms and Helium 10830 wavelength from Kitt Peak, plus x-ray images from the Yohkoh satellite.
National Solar Observatory, Kitt Peak, has daily full-disk magnetograms and Helium 10830 images.
Hiraiso Solar Terrestrial Research Center of the Communications Research Laboratory, Japan, provides a space environment information service on the Internet containing: solar radio spectra, H-alpha images, geomagnetic data, digital ionograms, and a variety of other solar-terrestrial data.
Big Bear Solar Observatory. This gopher site has White light, H-alpha images as both full disk and regions. NOTE: Big Bear requests that images be accessed before 15:00 UT (8:00 am MST) or after 01:00 UT (6:00 pm MST).
The Environmental Research Laboratories (ERL) is made up of 11 research laboratories. Users of the ERL research results include the atmospheric, marine, and space physics communities.
The Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) is a major research arm of NOAA. It focuses on natural phenomena in the ocean, atmosphere, and space environments having societal significance.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) index page includes links to the various line and program offices within NOAA.
The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) page contains information about the DOC, its agencies, and its services.
FedWorld is an index into U.S. Government information servers.
