World Data Center System (WDC)
World Data Centers (WDCs) in Russia, operated by the Russian Academy of Sciences, focus on various fields including Solar-Terrestrial Physics, Solid Earth Physics, and Meteorology. Their main functions include data collection, archiving, quality control, and long-term storage. They support educational and research programs while providing user-friendly access to datasets in various formats. The WDCs facilitate the exchange of meteorological and geological data, offering critical insights into phenomena like earthquakes and solar activity for researchers globally.

Russian Academy of SciencesGeophysical Center • WDC for Solar-Terrestrial Physics, Moscow • WDC for Solid Earth Physics , Moscow
Main WDC functions • Data collectionand archiving, data analysis, qualitycontrol, processing and long-time storage • Data maintenance, preparation of inventory catalogs, meta-data documentations etc. • Data distribution - data exchange, execution ofuserrequests, service of visitors, publication of data sets • Use of new data technologies and software, use of the INTERNET • Assistance to educational programs, participation in research programs
Main WDC functions • Data collectionand archiving, data analysis, qualitycontrol, processing and long-time storage • Data maintenance, preparation of inventory catalogs, meta-data documentations etc. • Data distribution - data exchange, execution ofuserrequests, service of visitors, publication of data sets • Use of new data technologies and software, use of the INTERNET • Assistance to educational programs, participation in research programs
WDCs in Russia serve scientists, students, researchers of our country and of other countries • Users prefer to take data sets from WDC in the form of separate (ASCII) files or selected from computer data base • Some users request the results of data processing:statistics, spatial and temporal distributions, cross-sections and other products
Spatial distribution of earthquake epicenters and depth cross-section (example)
Solar-Terrestrial Physics Data Online • Geomagnetic Indices • Solar Activity and Sector Boundary of IMF • Sudden Commencement • Minute, Hourly & Daily Values of Geomagnetic Field Components • Images of Magnetograms • Catalogues of Geomagnetic Pulsations & Storms • Cosmic Rays • Images of f-plots & Tables of Ionospheric Station Magadan • Solar Proton Events (1970 – 1996) • Earth's Ionosphere and Plasmasphere. Model of distribution of density, temperatureand effective collision freguency of electrons • The Program RIM98 for calculating the parameters of the ionosphereto use the "Reference IonosphericModel-98»
