Data Archive Access

Data access restriction is on starting June 9. Users need a login application and approval of the SoWMEX/TiRMEX science team before being able to access to data archive. Until June 26, 16 users have been approved.

Current Data Archive Status

The raw data that scientists are most interested in have been collected in real time and available currently on data archive.

Until June 25, the data have been downloaded 10,285 10,285 times.

Acknowledgments

DM team would like to thank all of you who have been involving the products/data collection for continuous support from SoWMEX 2007 to 2008.

So far if you think DM team has been doing a good job, that’s because we have excellent team work between CWB and SoWMEX science team.
