9. Seismic Array
The Seismic Array Observation System is for array seismological experiments to collect seismic data of earthquakes and man-made sources.
Seismic data processing system with international standard and data sharing policy are established correspondingly.
For the real-time data, we

10. Historical ionospheric data
Different record materials
Manually created records (~10years)
Photographic film records (~50years)
Digitalized records (~20years)
For the historical data, I want to take the Historical ionospheric data as an instance.
The manually created records are one paper per hour.
For the Photographic film records, we get one record every 15 minutes.

三种数据来源：每秒钟直接产生、转换历史、国际合作
WDC for Geophysics, Beijing hosts the mirror sites of Madrigal Database ( and DIDBase ( The Madrigal Database is an upper atmospheric science database used by groups throughout the world and it is developed by the MIT Haystack Observatory. The DIDBase is created by the University of Massachusetts Lowell. It provides accurate specification of the electron density in the Earth's ionosphere at more than 60 locations in the world.
GIRO data are opened for public access via DIDBase and DriftBase Web Portals
The Beijing Ming Tombs station, which is owned by WDC for Geophysics, Beijing, is a standard permanent geomagnetic observation station and a member of International Real-time Magnetic Observatory Network ( Intermagnet ) .
