The GOES and SOLRAD satellites orbited at geostationary levels, about 22,000 miles above the Earth's surface. The ACE satellite is stationed in interplanetary space at the L1 libration point where the Earth's and Sun's gravitational fields cancel each other. The satellite instrumentation gives information about solar flares, coronal mass ejection, and geomagnetic storms impacting the near-Earth environment. This information is important to the operations of radio and satellite communication and navigation systems, electric power networks, geophysical exploration, astronauts, high-altitude plane flights and scientific researchers.To provide long-term scientific data stewardship for the Nation's geophysical data, ensuring quality, integrity, and accessibility.19670101UnknownUnknownIn workasNeededUncontrolled KeywordsSolar Alpha ParticlesSolar ElectronsSolar ParticlesSolar PhysicsSolar ProtonsNASA/Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Earth Science KeywordsEarth Science > Sun-Earth Interactions > Ionosphere/Magnetosphere Dynamics > Magnetic Fields/Magnetic CurrentsEarth Science > Sun-Earth Interactions > Ionosphere/Magnetosphere Dynamics > Solar WindEarth Science > Sun-Earth Interactions > Solar Energetic Particle Flux > Proton FluxNASA/GCMD Location KeywordsCoronaRestriction Code: otherRestrictions; DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of CommerceSolar Data Managerphysical and mailing NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC E/GC2 325 Broadway BoulderCO80305303.497.6133 or 303.497.6323solar.ngdc@noaa.govUnknown 20111117Solar Data ManagerDOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commercemailing and physical NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC E/GC2 325 Broadway BoulderCO80305303.497.6133 or 303.497.6323solar.ngdc@noaa.govContent Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata: Extensions for Remote Sensing MetadataFGDC-STD-012-2002
