Magnetopause Database

We have put together a web-accessible database of magnetopause crossings from a set of satellites provided by researchers to facilitate statistical studies and cross-comparisons between satellites.
Scatter plot of any two parameters (with filtering)

FTP Access to underlying ASCII files
Output from this interface is one line per magnetopause crossing containing parameters selected in the left-most boxes below and with parameters satisfying any user-specified ranges on the right side. Output will be sorted first by spacecraft and then by time, unless the user specifies an alternative sorting below. Time tagging is addressed in footnote 1.
Words 1-10 characterize the time and location of a magnetopause crossing. Words 11-34 characterize the state of the solar wind for the hour in which the crossing occurred; they are taken or computed from the hourly resolution OMNI data base. Words 35-38 are geomagnetic and solar activity indices. Word 39 is provider code
