Virtual Space Physics Observatory (VSPO)

The Virtual Space Physics Observatory (VSPO) is an evolving system for making data easily available from all missions relevant to the global problem of the effects of solar particles and fields on the Earth. The VSPO is one of several efforts towards the Living With A Star Data Environment (LWSDE).

VSPO Space and Solar Physics Product Finder provides a way to access data products, model products, other types of space and solar physics products and metadata that describes these products. It also has the capability to deliver data for some of these products. The products registered in VSPO include; solar movies, browse plots and data from over 50 spacecraft, data and plots of activity indices, links to model results, runs-on-demand from CCMC and OMNI, CDAWeb data and plots delivered directly or through their original interfaces, and other data from over 40 repositories. Products are continually being added. Suggestions for new products and changes to current listings are always welcome. Our aim is to deliver products or pointers to them as efficiently as possible (ideally "three clicks to the data" ).
