    Data Magnetometer
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking magnetometer data from Earth orbiting satellites for a senior research project. Participants suggest using the NASA PDS website for data access and recommend exploring resources from NOAA, ESA, and UKSA for additional information. There is also interest in obtaining cosmic ray flux data from a pyranometer, particularly for locations in the U.S. The conversation emphasizes the need to navigate through complex organizational structures to find the required data. Overall, various agencies are highlighted as potential sources for the needed research data.

HI all,

I'm starting by senior research and I am in the hunt of some data! Specifically magnetometer data from an Earth orbiting satellite, I could get the data I think from the http://ppi.pds.nasa.gov/ site but was curious if anyone had an insight or guidance. At my college we have a pyranometer which records cosmic ray flux (w/m^2) - does anyone know if that information is obtainable for various locations on the globe (U.S particularly).

And where could I find data on the ionosphere as well...

Thanks, feel free to ask any questions I'm sure I was vague :smile:
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
You might try the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency, NOAA. They engage in lots of research in the areas you are interested in.
Also the European Space Agency, ESA. The Brits have their own space agency, UKSA, as does Australia.
I can't imagine NASA not having the information you need, you just have to dig deep into its octopus-like organization.
I wish I had some URLs but haven't needed such data in a while. Good Luck.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
