Strongest radiation doses received
aboard
aircraft since 1989
From this web site you can access services and data:
- Last hourly values from Kerguelen and Terre-Adelie stations are
available via a daily updated graphic representation. See NMDB/Nest tool for more specific request.
- The forecasts page gives you access to long term prediction of RI12, F10.7, modulation parameters, etc.
-
From the solar flares page you can retrieve the QBSA flare lists in ascii (1972 to 1989).
You will also find pages dedicated to the radiation doses received aboard aircrafts, to the solar cycle precursors, a list of meetings (mainly in the fields of Space Weather and Solar Physics). The publication page give you access to some papers of the CERCLe members. All questions/comments concerning the web site are welcomed. Please contact the
webmaster.
