Third consolidated guide to international data exchange through the World Data Centres
The World Data Centers (WDC's) came into existence during the International Geophysical Year. The primary purpose of the guide is to describe the responsibility of national committees, institutions, and scientists in forwarding data and information to the WDC's, and to describe the data which will be received at WDC's and the responsibilities of WDC's in their handling of data. The WDC's collect data and publications in the following programs: solar--terrestrial physics (solar and interplanetary phenomena, ionospheric phenomena, flare-associated events, geomagnetic variations, aurora, cosmic rays, airglow), rockets and satellites, meteorology (atmospheric chemistry, atmospheric radioactivity, solar radiation, ozone, noctilucent clouds, atmospheric electricity, surface and upper air observations), oceanology, glaciology, and solid-earth geophysics (seismology, tsunamis, gravimetry, earth tides, recent movements of the earth's crust, rotation of the earth, marine geology and geophysics, magnetic measurements, paleomagnetism and archeomagnetism. Volcanology, geothermics). All of the above except meteorology, volcanology, and geothermics are treated in this publication. (RWR)
