Summary
The Coupling, Energetics, and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions (CEDAR)
Data Base at NCAR/HAO holds data collected from airglow imagers and
all-sky cameras. None of the imager data are in digital form in the
CEDAR Data Base and must be obtained from the contact person. Video
tapes from the imager at Millstone Hill are in the CEDAR Data Base.

Other data ... are as follows:
1. Utah State University CCD imager data from October 6-23, 1993 which
measured nightglow emissions over Hawaii (20N, 155W). Data are
available from Michael Taylor. The Utah State University CCD Imager is
operated by the Utah State University with support from the NSF.

2. Boston University Mobile Ionospheric Observatory (MIO) imaging
system which operated from July 1987 to June 1989, and the CEDAR
imager which started in September 1989. Both imagers are located at
Millstone Hill (42.6N, 71.5W). Video tapes from 1987-1994 are
available in the CEDAR Data Base. The contact person is Michael
Mendillo. The CEDAR imager is operated at Millstone Hill by Boston
University with support from the NSF.

3. All-sky camera data at Qaanaaq, Greenland (77.5N, 69.2W), at
Longyearbyen, Sweden (78.2N,15.4E), at Ny Alesund, Svalbard (78.9N,
12.0E), and at Nord, Greenland (91.6N, 16.6W). These all-sky cameras
are operated by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Hanscom
AFB. All of the film data are available from Katsura Fukui at
AFRL. The Qaanaaq and Nord all-sky cameras are operated by the Danish
Meteorological Institute and owned by the U.S. Air Force Research
Laboratory at Hanscom, AFB, MA. The Ny Alesund all-sky camera is
operated by the University of Oslo and owned by the US AFRL.

The CEDAR Data Base is accessible through the WWW and ftp, but users
must have a valid access form, available from the WWW or ftp (see
Access and Use constraints) or contact Barbara Emery
(emery@hao.ucar.edu). See the WWW site for additional information on
accessing the data and Rules of the Road procedures.
