| Zusammenfassung |
| The four-satellite Cluster mission investigates the small-scale structures and physical processes related to interaction between the solar wind and the magnetospheric plasma. The mission has collected observations since 2001 and has been approved to operate until 2012. The Cluster Active Archive (CAA) (URL: http://caa.estec.esa.int) will contain the entire set of Cluster high-resolution data and other allied products in a standard format and with a complete set of metadata in machine readable format. Currently there are more than 200 datasets from each spacecraft. The total amount of data files in compressed format is expected to exceed 50 TB. Later this year, the system will also provide access to the observations of the two Double Star spacecraft. The data archive is publicly accessible and suitable for science use and publication by the world-wide scientific community. The CAA became operational in February 2006 and now there are more than 700 registered users. The CAA provides user-friendly services for searching and accessing these data and ancillary products as well as for visualizing some of the scientific parameters. The CAA is continuously being upgraded in terms of datasets and services. This presentation makes first a quick overview of the CAA and concentrates then on the recent updates of the overall system and its services. |
