HOT DATA!
---------
From:  Bob McGuire (Robert.E.McGuire.1 at gsfc.nasa.gov)

Current (and past) Key Parameters from the ISTP missions (including Wind,
Polar, Geotail, SOHO energetic particles, IMP-8 field and plasma,
ground-based experiments, geosynchronous GOES and LANL data, select
Interball data) are accessible to anyone using CDAWeb.  CDAWeb is an easy
WWW interface to quickly select and plot any combination of variables in
the database (over 400, including Polar UVI imager data) on whatever time
span in which you're interested.  Or generate a downloadable ASCII listing.
Data from many experiments is available from CDAWeb within ONE WEEK or
less of when the data is taken.  And the system now includes over four
years of Geotail data and almost two years of Wind data.

While the ISTP Key Parameters are a browse and event identification data
product that is not intended for use in publications without PI
certification, these data are nonetheless a uniquely rich and powerful
resource to identify times, data and science signatures of research
interest.   Try CDAWeb access to this data just once:  you may like what
you find.

ISTP Key Parameters on CDAWeb can be accessed at

        http://cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov

or from pointers on the SPDF home page (http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/spdf),
the NSSDC's space physics home page (http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/space) or
the ISTP project home page (http://www-istp.gsfc.nasa.gov), all URLs with
other pointers to MANY other services, data and useful information.

CDAWeb (Coordinated Data Analysis Workshop Web) access to the ISTP Key
Parameters is a joint service of NASA's Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF)
and National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) at Goddard Space Flight
Center, and the ISTP (International Solar Terrestrial Physics) project.
