The Space Physics Data System --
Cosmic and Heliospheric Nodes

T. L. GARRARD for the C&H Discipline Coordination Team

Abstract

The Space Physics Data System (SPDS) is a community-driven network of information sources, linked and interfaced by World Wide Web software. The SPDS coordinators are community representatives to the NASA Space Physics Division, who are soliciting additional Web nodes, trying to keep the nodes organized, and soliciting information/suggestions about older data in danger of loss. Here we present a guide to data in Cosmic and Heliospheric nodes of the SPDS. New contributions to this system are being solicited and some funds may be available to assist with their development.
