| Zusammenfassung |
| The Neutron Monitor database (NMDB) was created to make measurements from
ground-based Neutron Monitors easily accessible. Data from more than 40 stations is
available in the database and can be plotted via a webpage and downloaded as ASCII tables
for further processing. Real-time applications, like the GLE Alert, can access the database
directly. The NMDB project has also hosted training sessions and created extensive public
outreach and training material that has been translated into 11 languages. This material is
openly available on the NMDB website and is frequently used in highschool and university
courses. While the availability of data from currently operating stations is nearing
completion, the availability of historical data, especially no longer operating stations, is still
limited. We are currently trying to fill these gaps. As a first step a project to make NMDB
compatible with the database of relativistic solar particle events (GLEs) is starting this
year. |
