    New CADI Data and Plots Availabile
    (2008-04-30 13:00:00.0)
  • The CADI data repository has been updated with 2007 data. In addition, Ionogram and Height-Time Velocity plots are available as well. The new data and plotting services are available in the CADI instrument section of the portal.

    SuperDARN Data Repository Updated
    (2008-03-30 13:01:00.0)
  • The SuperDARN data repository has been updated to include more data bringing the portal closer to complete.
    •
    New Software Available on the Portal
    (2007-11-19 09:00:00.0)
  • It is now possible to plot latitude and longitude profiles on the portal, rather than showing data as individual magnetograms. The development of auroral current systems is better followed by looking at the profiles, which can show the development in time and space more effectively. Just click on Related Projects, then on FDAM and finally on Magnetic Profiles. From there you can select the intervals of your choice to be plotted and the baseline from which the magnetic perturbations are to be measured. For help in interpreting the profiles, just click on Plots Info. You can also get help by contacting Gordon Rostoker at rostoker@space.ualberta.ca

    (2007-07-23 19:10:00.0)
  • A new policy of access to SuperDARN data for researchers from participating SuperDARN countries has been introduced. For details see Instrument Data -> SuperDARN -> Data Downloading -> SuperDARN Data Access Policy.

    Canadian Space Science Data Portal

    The new version of CSSDP is now open for your use.
    Please report any defects found to admin@cssdp.ca.

    Welcome to the Canadian Space Science Data Portal - CSSDP.

    The CSSDP is a secure data distribution portal for the Canadian GeoSpace Monitoring program (CGSM), involving six university and government partners that are each responsible for management, archival and validation of their own data. The CSSDP presents users with a seamless, single point of access to CGSM data, visualization tools, and value-added data products.

    Access to CGSM data is open to all registered users - registration is free for all non-commercial use subject to the rules of the road. The CSSDP respects data access restrictions specified by university groups or government agencies operating particular instruments.

    CGSM Instruments Map

    CGSM is a program coordinating observations, data-assimilation and modelling. The data are used to study the near-Earth space environment including phenomena such as the Aurora Borealis and other Space Weather.

    CGSM is the successor to the Canadian Space Agency CANOPUS program, which involved the operation of a network of 13 Canadian ground-based observational sites from 1986 to March 2005.

    CGSM Program Elements:

    CSSDP is funded in part by CANARIE Inc. CANARIE and the Canadian Space Agency CSA, with initial funding for its design and implementation provided by the Alberta Science and Research Authority ASRA and the University of Alberta. The CSSDP is currently hosted at the University of Alberta.
