eSWua: Ionograms database, autoscaled records

Last modified at Feb 21st, 2023, 10:50 GMT

Description

The eSWua (electronic Space Weather upper atmosphere) database contains the near-real time and historical data originated from the instruments of the INGV Ionospheric Monitoring Network, and all the related scientific products developed by the "Upper atmosphere physics and radiopropagation" INGV group. This collection includes the data acquired by the ground-based Ionosondes, among which the Advanced Ionospheric Sounder (AIS), completely designed and developed at INGV, and the Lowell Digisondes. The vertical soundings, performed 24/7, are remotely processed by dedicated software (Autoscala, developed at INGV for the AIS, and Artist for the Digisonde) and managed in near-real time by the eSWua system at the INGV headquarter. This collection makes available to the users the ionograms and the autoscaled records, harmonized among the different instruments and distributed in an open format.

Online Resource Access

  • The download tool assist you in the procedure of accessing the data. USAGE: 1) Choose the collection "HF IONOSONDES" from the horizontal menu below the text. 2) Select the station/ionosonde. 3) Choose "Autoscaled parameters" or "Raw ionograms" in "Select levels of elaboration". 4) Continue with the guided data selection.

  • In this page is provided an overview of the time-series of the main autoscaled parameters (last 24 hr) and the ionograms produced in the last 1 hr for each operative station of the network.

  • In this page it's possible to explore and plot all the ionosonde-derived data (both historical and near-real time) available for each ionosonde. The data may be both autoscaled and manually validated; when the manually validated data are available for the choosed parameter, they will be automatically plotted togheter with the autoscaled one. Multiple plots can be added to the page, allowing the comparison among different stations/time-periods.
